…with a silent “h”
Kharlie was the featured performer at the open mic at Looking Glass, 18 N Main St, Janesville, WI on Monday, November 18, 2019. Though attendance was sparse, the show went well and everyone had a great time.
Jess the Ska Kid hosted a show by Kharlie M on Thursday, October 17, 2019 in a tiny basement in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Hundreds watched on Facebook Live. The hour-long show was great fun, and the interview went well too. You can watch these at her Facebook page (link above) or on YouTube:
Jess, Cif, and Josie were very nice people and fun to work with. Kharlie’s Facebook page has exploded with new likes since the show. Thanks and shout out to Jess and the crew!
The Ground Floor Stage at Summerfest in Milwaukee will host several local acts this year, including Candace Griffin, Kat and the Hurricane, and Ed Chapman.
Kat and the Hurricane released their new single, “Libra,” last month (May) on Spotify, Bandcamp, and elsewhere. The band has been active all over the area. See their Facebook page for places and dates of upcoming shows.

Wendi wasn’t feeling well enough to attend my show, so I went alone, arriving at The Exclusive Company around 5:25. The weather was breezy, with a mixture of rain and sleet. I had three ukuleles (concert, tenor, and baritone), a bottle of water, and a tip jar in which I carried by CDs, business cards, and two mics (which I didn’t use). The show went off very well; everyone did a great job. The sound system worked nicely too. ~ Someone tipped me too! It was only a dollar, but it was my first ever tip for a music performance. ~ Schedule stayed within 5 minutes of planned timing throughout.
