There's a lot of amazing singers in the Madison music scene, but we soon will be missing one of the best: Kelsey Miles announced recently that she will be leaving Wisconsin. A farewell tour of the region kicks off this weekend and continues through March; one show that is sure to be extra special is Miles' Bur Oak gig, which will highlight her original songs (including music from the forthcoming album I Am) along with stories from the road. Find tickets here, and more info on other shows this month at kelseymiles.com.

(from Kelsey Miles' newsletter): Hi Friend! Happy 2023! I think this year will be full of changes for us all. Here's what I have going on:
-moving out of state (the topic of this email)
-releasing an album
-launching a 100 day journey (that directly ties in with my album).
The first big change for me will be a move, and I would love to see you at one of my Farewell WI Tour shows. Roadie and I have decided to move out of Wisconsin and hit the road. I've toured and played in Minnesota, Tennessee (Nashville), Missouri (St. Louis), the gulf side of Florida, and Kansas (Kansas City). We want to explore more and hit some blues jams on our travels. We're thinking Memphis and Austin are two music scenes we would like to check out. We especially liked Kansas City so far, but I'm open to see where we land.
With every new adventure there is an ending of the previous adventure. I'm so grateful for my time in Wisconsin. This is where I got my start. This is where I first picked up guitar. This is where I played my first show. I've made so many friends and I love my music family here.
As much as I love it here, I am feeling pulled to explore. I want to invite you to my farewell tour in Wisconsin in March. I'm doing a special show focusing on my original music and stories on March 4 at the Bur Oak in Madison. Make sure to get your ticket before they sell out. I hosted an open jam in Madison at Tricia's Country Corners for years, but the venue has since shut down. So, I organized a reunion open jam on my Birthday March 22 to celebrate those years. And of course, I'm playing some of my favorite dive bars:) My band will help me end my farewell tour with a show at the Red Rooster in Madison.
