There are a couple of ways that you can tell it's summertime in Wisconsin: people are outside for hours at a time and the Summerfest grounds are ready for The Big Gig in Milwaukee!
This year, for the first time, Full Compass Systems is incredibly excited to be a dual sponsor for Summerfest. We are the backlineDefinition:
Musical equipment set up on stage or in a recording studio, often provided by the venue. sponsor for all of the side stages during the 11-day music festival - meaning the drums, amps and other gear the bands will use are from us! Crazy, right?
Also, we are sponsoring with 88Nine Radio Milwaukee, the Summerfest Emerging Artists Series to support those bands right on the edge of breaking through to the next level. Exciting!
Continuing our list of "firsts," we will be covering the music festival all over our social media channels with live streamingDefinition:
A form of live broadcast using internet services., interviews with bands and crews and loads of photos to share with those who can't be there.
Why? Because it's freakin' cool!
So, keep an eye out on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts and give us feedback on what bands you'd like to see/hear more of.
