Jesse Cook Answers to Milwaukee
Milwaukee’s outdoor music venues have grown in popularity during our power packed summers, so it was refreshing to be at a concert with so little traffic or crowded walkways as the Sharon Wilson Center’s sprawling fields allowed for Frisbee players and dog walkers to join in as casual onlookers. Kids and 
coffee, stars and strums, bongo lines and percussion rhythms all partook as Jesse Cook and company performed in the Brookfield field.
But questions from the audience? At an outdoor summer concert? Jesse Cook answered his fans personal questions on Saturday, August 1st. Was it the serene Sharon Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield, Wisconsin that allowed the artist to reach out with confidence - or are Milwaukeen’s just that friendly and approachable?
The first time I heard his music, I found it a cross between the Gipsy Kings and Ottmar Liebert. Then learned at the concert while spending 10 years in Arles, France, Jesse found his passion while living (what are the chances) next door to Nicolas Reyes from the Gipsy Kings. Now living in Canada (you’ll just have to read his biography to see how he ended up North), Milwaukeen’s got a real treat with both his performance, personal interaction, and a perfect night under the stars.
