Had a great time catching up with David from Blue, Seriously at the Radio Milwaukee Music Awards last night. Highlight of the evening: a killer set from Trapper Schoepp and the Shades, who won Album of the Year. Congrats to them and all the other winners and nominees in what was a stellar year for Milwaukee music!
