88Nine

Violet Grohl’s career started a new chapter in the past week, with the release of her debut album and a tour that will bring her to the Rave on Sept. 16.

The 20-year-old garnered attention for her chops back in January of 2020, when she jumped behind the microphone at a Nirvana reunion and belted out “Heart-Shaped Box” alongside the legendary band’s surviving members.

More than six years later, she released “Be Sweet To Me,” her first studio LP and a chance for everyone to — as she put it — “Decide for yourself if I’m worthy.”

Tickets to Violet Grohl’s Sept. show at the Rave go on sale this Friday, June 5.

Happy June 1! We’re celebrating the unofficial start of summer with some hot new tracks from The Womack Sisters, Kelela and more.

Listen at 88.9FM, at RadioMilwaukee.org and in the Radio Milwaukee app.
