event Juniper Tar

Milwaukee band Juniper Tar established itself as one of the city’s finest purveyors of gentle folk-rock with 2008’s To The Trees, a spaced-out pastoral record designed for late summer nights spent polishing off whiskey bottles on the back porch. 2010’s The Howl Street EP was similarly lovely, particularly the slowly unfolding lead-off track, “Interstates.” In advance of the group’s highly anticipated new album Since Before, Juniper Tar has set up shop at The Hotel Foster for a weekly residency. The band will share the stage with two or more special musical guests, playing new music, but also serving as a backing band for the guest musicians. Those musicians will in turn perform their own music throughout the set, and the night will conclude with everyone onstage performing a cover from The Band’s legendary Last Waltz concert. (Got all of that?)
