WSUM Live from the Project Lodge Benefit Concert
The Project Lodge is a performance space and art gallery that is 100% volunteer powered and donation driven. WSUM teamed up with the Majestic Theater to broadcast the Project Lodge Benefit concert live. The show was dedicated to keeping a vital community hub's lights on, so the Project Lodge can remain a home for Madison's artists, musicians, filmmakers, and authors. The show featured Julian Lynch, Icarus Himself, Whitney Mann, Anna Vogelzang, and All Tiny Creatures. Take a look at the awesome time we had!
