The Majestic Theatre first opened on December 15th, 1906- making it Madison's oldest theatre! According to their website, the Majestic has had everything from silent movies to Harry Houdini's infamous magic show!
On September 29th, 2007, the Majestic Theatre had a grand reopening- this time as a "world class performing arts venue." The idea sprouted from a partnership between a musician who was disenfranchised with the treatment given to musicians at venues all across the country, and a booking agent. The two men, originally from the Midwest, met in Los Angeles and decided to open their own venue.
Two years later they did it- in Madison, Wisconsin.
Personally, the Majestic Theatre is one of my favorite venues I have had the pleasure to play, and at this point in my life I would say it has been my favorite place to sing. Vibrations reverberate so beautifully off of the truly majestic walls of the Majestic Theatre. There's room for sitting, there's room for standing and dancing. It's big but not too big! And the vibe is warm. It's a show I can comfortably invite my parents or any of my friends to and know that they'll have fun and be comfortable. As we grow as a band, I really care about the type of places we are asking our friends, family, and other supporters to come to. I'm proud to invite them to the Majestic Theatre.
This Friday night, we will be joining three fantastic bands to play Wisconsin Bluegrass Fest at the Majestic Theatre. Madison's publication, The Isthmus, is presenting this all ages show.

PS. My favorite show I've attended at the Majestic Theatre was Jim James. How about you?
