Beats, Bones & Bright Lights: A Spooky, Soulful Show Full of Art, Music & Milwaukee Magic

In this packed episode, Sandy takes you on a three-hour ride through all things Halloween, music, art, and creativity—from haunted houses and cinematic scares to one-of-a-kind concerts and iconic drum beats. Hour One kicks off with a festive flair, featuring a live call with Pleasant Prairie’s Sarah Howard on the wildly creative Halloween Lights Tour. Sandy also highlights Halloween happenings across Wisconsin—from ghost hunts to pumpkin carving—and where to catch your favorite scary movies on the big screen. Plus, a special seasonal track by LUNDE, rooted in Pleasant Prairie spirit. Hour Two brings Present Music’s Marta Troicki and Daniel Petry into the studio to preview All Souls Eve at the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Hour Three is a deep, personal, and funny conversation with Victor DeLorenzo, founding drummer of the Violent Femmes. He reflects on returning to the stage for his birthday shows at The Jazz Estate, his evolution as a filmmaker, and the premiere of his short film Mary For The Block, recently featured at the Toronto Film Festival.
