Restoring Milwaukee's Music Scene

Milwaukee historically has been a great place for musicians to begin and grow their musical journeys. Lately, as clubs have begun to shut down and people have become less willing to watch local acts, this has changed. “I CAN START A BAND TOO” seeks to transform that and restore Milwaukee’s music scene to what it once was. We want to guide and inspire musicians to create and form bands, as well as share resources and knowledge with them.
