Vic Ruggiero

Milwaukee!! - VIC RUGGIERO XMAS EVE - WED, DEC 24, 8PM at Boone & Crockett
On Christmas Eve, Twas the Nite turns into a riverside singalong when Vic Ruggiero of The Slackers plugs in for a special solo set at 8pm.
Longtime frontman, songwriter, and all-purpose troublemaker for cult-favorite ska/reggae band The Slackers, Vic brings the kind of lived-in songs that feel like late-night bar stories: crooked love songs, bittersweet ballads, crooked hymns for people who laugh at the dark and stay for one more round. It's part ska, part rocksteady, part rock & roll and all heart.
Expect stripped-down versions of Slackers favorites, deep cuts, and the kind of off-the-cuff crowd moments that only happen when it's just a voice, a guitar, and a space full of people who actually howed up. One minute it's a quiet hush, the next it's a shout-along chorus and everyone at the bar is suddenly in the band.
Add Twas the Nite's hot and cold holiday cocktails, nice NAs, hot food, and crackling fires by the river, and you've got the move for Christmas Eve in Milwaukee: festive without being fussy, a little rowdy, a little nostalgic, and just cozy enough for fun-loving grownups who want their holiday spirit loud, live, and slightly off the beaten path.
