Shilpa Ray is a ferocious force in modern music, blending punk rock grit with soulful blues and a razor-sharp wit. Hailing from Brooklyn by way of New Jersey, she wields a harmonium like a weapon, delivering explosive performances that channel raw emotion and fearless honesty. With a voice that can purr or roar, Ray draws comparisons to icons like Patti Smith and Nick Cave — artists she’s also shared stages with. Her music is a bruising, beautiful rebellion against expectation, rooted in the chaos and contradictions of real life.
Red Stuff is a Milwaukee-based band blending raw garage-pop, psychedelic textures, and experimental energy. Led by Tom and Kelly Wanderer, with Steve Tiber and Morgan Engels, they’re known for their lo-fi sound, analog recordings, and fiercely DIY spirit — a beloved force in the city’s underground scene.
WMSE is a proud partner of this event!
