Music scene · Glendale

Glendale is an inner suburb of Milwaukee along the western shore of Lake Michigan. School music programs, church choirs, and summer municipal concerts define much of the local sound. Milwaukee's east side and downtown provide the nearby venues and recording studios.

Community concerts, church events, and private clubs host acoustic and jazz-influenced acts. For a regular stage calendar, Glendale musicians head south to Milwaukee neighborhoods such as Bay View, the East Side, or the Third Ward.

Glendale does not have famous resident artists; local and regional musicians perform here, with Milwaukee-area players occasionally coming north for community concerts.

Audition for Glendale summer concerts and connect with church music directors. Then play Milwaukee open mics and jazz jams to build relationships with bookers in the city.
