Grafton City Blues
Tonight @ Stackner Cabaret - 8:00 PM
The latest Milwaukee Rep production tells the story of a once forgotten
blues record label in unassuming Grafton, Wis. Grafton City Blues,
which debuts in the Stackner Cabaret tonight with an 8 p.m. performance,
documents the depression-era label Paramount, which released sessions from
future legends like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Ma Rainey and even Louis
Armstrong. The play is set in a modern-day Bronzeville attic, where relics
from the label are discovered.
