Back in 2016 Derek Pritzl hosted the weekly open mic night at District 14 Brewery and Pub in Bay View. After the solo performers finished, Pritzl and his band The Gamble would settle in for long sets of flowing music reminiscent of The Band.
District 14 has long since closed but Pritzl performs in Café Centraal’s heated tent, just across the intersection from his old stomping grounds for a night of acoustic music. He promises the long-awaited album in nearing release.

Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud One -Year Anniversary Show livestream, 6 p.m.
On the one-year anniversary of the release of Waxahatchee’s Saint Cloud, Katie Crutchfield and the Saint Cloud Band will perform the record in its entirety. Written immediately in the period following her decision to get sober, Saint Cloud is an unflinching self-examination. From a moment of reckoning in Barcelona to a tourist trap in Tennessee to a painful confrontation on Arkadelphia Road, from a nostalgic jaunt down Seventh Street in New York City to the Mississippi Gulf, Crutchfield creates a sense of place for her soul-baring tales, a longtime staple of her storytelling.
This raw, exposed narrative terrain is aided by a shift in sonic arrangements as well. Filmed in Kansas City with director Johnny Eastlund, this is the show the group had planned to tour. Presented by the Pabst Theater and #ReviveLiveMKE Live Stream Series
