Mark Lanegan @ Shank Hall
1434 N Farwell Ave
Milwaukee, WI 53202

WMSE Presents Mark Lanegan at Shank Hall. Singing with a deep, nicotine-ravaged growl that’s rich, strong, and sensuously forbidding, Mark Lanegan first rose to fame when his band the Screaming Trees won a taste of mainstream recognition in the ’90s. But like other noted artists, Lanegan has carved out a strong identity of his own as a vocalist and songwriter informed by the blues but willing to take his darkly poetic sensibility wherever his muse was pointing him, from hard rock to electronica.
Lanegan has also collaborated with various artists and bands throughout his career, including with Kurt Cobain of Nirvana prior to the group’s breakout success with their album Nevermind, Mad Season and became a member of Queens of the Stone Age, featuring on five of the band’s albums.
