hinelander, into a modern space. The space includes two galleries, a classroom/conference room, indoor and outdoor stage and bar area. There are several office spaces which are leased to artists, music instructors, health coaches, foundations and other nonprofit organizations.

🎶 Our third and final Roots on the Road show of the summer welcomes Karley Davidson to the Northwoods Center at Nicolet College.

Davidson is an acoustic singer-songwriter and loop artist known for building layered, rhythmic songs live on stage. Her performances are compelling and not to be missed! Roots shows are known for their uniqueness where folks not only hear the songs, but the stories behind the songs.

The Roots Concerts are free, open to the public and made possible through partnership with WXPR 91.7FM and Nicolet College. A cash bar will be open.
