Band performances and portions of the news will be broadcast live from the park by anchor Nicole Koglin. The Love Monkeys and Remember the Day perform at the debut event. Other bands scheduled include Eddie Butts, Willy Porter, Carbon Leaf and King Solomon. A complete schedule can be found on the station's Web site.
Chuck Steinmetz, station general manager, says that this is the first time the station has created its own concert series.
Other local stations have created similar downtown coverage recently with WISN's regular '12 News On Assignment' series and WDJT's "Milwaukee Downtown Amazing Race."
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
