Violet Wilder

Ben Mulwana is a Ugandan-born and raised artist residing in Wisconsin. With songs about love, loss and everything in between, Ben’s band project “Ben Mulwana and the Village” is made of a groovy, rock and soulful sound from a group of amazing musicians. Ben released his debut album, "Mr Mulwana", on May 1st; and is available on all streaming platforms. The album “Mr. Mulwana” is about growth, in music, mind and soul. I built the studio I recorded in from scratch with the goal of recording all the songs in it. I thought of giving up several times, and several times I got back up and kept going. This album is the musical representation of this process, all the ups and downs, the struggle and the joy of it all. We’ll start our evening off with Violet Wilder. College best friends Kimberly, Melissa, and Jayna formed Violet Wilder in 2019; a tumultuous timeline filled with creativity, heartbreak, highs and lows fueled their early songwriting. Since then, they have developed a unique sound, mesmerizing audiences with sumptuous 3-part harmony and transcending indie, rock & roll, and folk genres. VW wears their hearts on their sleeves, processing life sonically with hopes that every person who hears their music will connect with it. Tickets $12 in advance/$15 at the door
