WMSE is excited to welcome B~Free to our monthly Local/Live at Club Garibaldi’s series on Tuesday, November 1st. Join us by listening over the airwaves or by participating as an audience member – this event is FREE and open to the 21+ public and lots of fun!

B~Free will be joined by Milwaukee’s Foreign Goods as her backing band. The members of the multi-genre collective cite this as one of their last public performances of the year.

When first introduced to the soulful & artistic sound of singer-songwriter-producer-musician B~Free, it is but a mere taste of all the capabilities this young lady embodies. Following a lengthy hiatus, B~Free reemerges with her sophomore project, the Ode 2 A Luv Affair LP.

With sound inspirations from Musiq Soulchild, Dwele, J-Dilla and Jill Scott., it is a conceptual album that traverses the ups and downs of romantic relationships. vulnerability, passion and compromise. Production for the album began in 2013 but was interrupted by a lengthy vocal trauma that would leave the artist unable to speak or sing for months. Following a vocal cord surgery & traumatic year of recovery, B~Free became more dedicated than ever to share her musical gifts.

Hailed by The Shepherd Express as an “immaculately constructed R&B record,” with a style rooted in 90s R&B/neo Soul and traces of present day influences, “Ode” not only represents the many trials and turmoils of love, but the personification of an artist’s loss and reclaiming of her gift.

As always, WMSE Music Director Erin Wolf and co-host Cal Roach (and YOU), will lead B~Free and Foreign Goods through questions in between the live performance.

Doors are at 5:30pm, segment starts at 6pm and runs until 7pm. Club Garibaldi’s is located at 2501 S. Superior Street in Bay View.

If you can’t join us for the live segment and show at Club Garibaldi, please tune in, per usual, to 91.7 FM (or stream online at WMSE.org) at the 6 o’clock hour.

Local/Live on WMSE is sponsored by The Garage.
