Few bands cast a bigger shadow over the Milwaukee music scene than The R&B Cadets. Though their initial run only lasted for a few years in the early ’80s, the group served as a launching pad for some of the city’s most prominent musicians, including John Sieger (who went on to form Semi-Twang), singer Robin Pluer and Paul Cebar of the Milwaukeeans and Tomorrow Sound fame. For the last several years, the group has reunited for Thanksgiving weekend shows at Shank Hall, reprising the festive soul and rock music that made them such an enormous live draw nearly four decades ago.
