Back in February of 2020, Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound’s Valentine performance at Shank Hall was one of the last before the pandemic ground live music to a halt—which made Thursday evening’s concert at Boerner Botanical Gardens an especially auspicious return to form for the Milwaukee group.
Over two lengthy sets on a perfect summer evening with an audience gathered across the sprawling concert lawn, the musically omnivorous quartet played to bats, dragonflies and a crowd of humans. Several times Paul Cebar joyfully thanked the audience and welcomed everyone back to live music; then gave them a reason to dance.
