Summer of Soul: BILAL + The Shonn Hinton Experience + Don Black on Wednesday, July 2 at Peck Pavilion.
Summer of Soul ’25 kicks off with a headline opening night performance by Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Bilal. Celebrated for his rich, genre-defying sound and extraordinary vocal range, Bilal returns to the spotlight following the release of two critically acclaimed albums in 2024.
Opening the night’s live music is The Shonn Hinton Experience—an electrifying R&B/soul ensemble led by Milwaukee’s own guitar virtuoso, Shonn Hinton. Jammin’ 98.3 DJ Don Black bookends the evening with a carefully curated mix, keeping the energy high before, between, and after the sets.
Experience the music in a vibrant, community-centered atmosphere at Peck Pavilion, featuring local vendors, food trucks, and a stunning view of Milwaukee’s downtown riverfront. It’s the ultimate summer vibe—free, family-friendly, and overflowing with soul.
