Third Coast Blues Collective
Third Coast Blues Collective is a loosely affiliated family of musicians bound by long friendships, shared history, and deep mutual respect. Drawing from the well of blues and roots traditions, the Collective brings together seasoned players who listen as hard as they play, trading stories, grooves, and grit on stage. Every performance is a living conversation. Grounded in the blues and branching into soul, Americana, and roots rock, Third Coast Blues Collective delivers music that feels worn in, well loved, and joyfully alive.

The Bend Theater
Built in 1929, The Bend Theater was originally built as a Vaudeville theater in West Bend. Over the decades, the theater underwent many changes but always retained its rich history and iconic “West Bend” blade sign.
In 2020, the Theater was restored to its original beauty by a nonprofit group called Historic West Bend Theater, Inc. These efforts landed The Bend Theater a designation on the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
The Bend Theater is now reopened to serve West Bend and the greater Milwaukee region with arts opportunities, music, theater, comedy, movies and an experience unlike any other.
