SUMMARY:THE FOE AND THE FALLEN Stories from The Greatest War Featuring THE KISSERS
DESCRIPTION:The Wisconsin Veterans Museum assisted The Kissers with content from the museum collection and stories of our veterans for their album and upcoming “rock and roll history show.” \nBased on the music of the award-winning album The Foe and the Fallen: Songs from The Greatest War (The Kissers\, 2024)\, this multimedia “rock and roll history show” celebrates the lives of everyday Wisconsinites who lived during one of our nation’s most extraordinary times. They each did their bit in different ways. They served\, they worked\, they resisted; and did so with a passion and resilience that resonates still today. \nThis performance is a redux version of The Greatest War: World War One\, Wisconsin\, and Why It Still Matters which debuted in 2018 to a sold out audience at the Barrymore Theatre in Madison\, Wisconsin.
