Celebrate the release of Liam Moore’s new album, Visions of a Perfect Life, along with special guests Caley Conway and Adelyn Rose. An evening spanning musical genres and showcasing incredible talent.

Liam Moore awkwardly straddled the line between “classical music” and “everything else” for years, unable to reconcile his affinity for writing both. His new album, Visions of a Perfect Life, serves as a reminder for him and the rest of us that all music has always been everything else.  With tracks featuring various configurations of strings, winds, brass, and percussion, the album unabashedly blends genres and moves coherently from one mood to the next. Persisting throughout is Liam’s singular style, marked by indelible melodies and personal lyrics. Through song, Liam can broach topics he generally avoids at all costs: love, insecurities, and earnest dreams.

While he wrote and arranged all the music on Visions of a Perfect Life, it was made a reality with the help of a host of local musicians, many of whom will join him at the Parkway for this special performance.

Rooted in folk but hardly bound to it, Caley Conway's inventive style ranges from jazz to post-rock, hints at the familiar, and embraces a dissonant beauty. The Milwaukee native’s breezy voice and disarming wit belie a deep complexity that has earned her praise as “the next big thing in folk music” by No Depression Magazine. Paste Magazine praised her 2016 full-length Silk for Life as “an ambitious piece that puts Conway on the map." 2018 saw her sharing stages with the likes of Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, Joan Shelley and more. Her latest EP, Surrounded Middle, out last April, was called "one of this year's best local albums," by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

From Eau Claire to Berlin, New York to settling in Minneapolis, Adelyn Rose traces the outlines of movement and transience. It's a progressive sound in that it actually indicates progress, like tape threading through a cassette player or yarn through a spinning wheel, and it primes us to listen by the time Adelyn Rose vocalist Addie Strei arrives with a ghost story. As she moves through phases of sleeping and waking, pacing and dozing, her songs deepen the daydream, conjuring warmth and weight where there should be cold and empty space.
