    Mr. Paul Cebar is more than a buzz word, local legend, and your average musician. He brings a funky, bluesy, soul-inspired style to shows in Milwaukee and across Wisconsin. A frequent performer at River-west-Milwaukee venues from stoops to stages. This old schooler rocks his craft with his team offering nothing but musicianship and respectability.

  • Photo of Pumping Station Park Pumping Station Park 1

    I love to play basketball at Pumping Station Park. The park features two fenced in courts (really cuts down on time wasted chasing a loose ball) though not NBA regulation sized (if I recall correctly, close enough for fun though). A great park for watching or playing softball.
