A big success in the early '50s, Milt Trenier and his family of musicians wowed audiences with their lively and energetic shows. Combining swing music with rock and roll, their “brand of hot jump blues” was undoubtedly addictive. With a Top Ten hit in 1951 with "Go Go Go," the group became even more popular with their appearances in rock films like Don't Knock the Rock, The Girl Can't Help It, and Calypso Heat Wave. One of the many firsts for rock and roll artists at the time, the Treniers appeared on the television show Colgate Comedy Hour hosted by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in May of
1954. After leaving the Treniers in 1959, Milt decided to peruse a solo career. He started playing in clubs around the Chicago area and continues to do so today.Milt Trenier entertains audiences with his classic rock and blues tunes like no one else. James Porter from New City Chicago said that “Milt's got the heart of an all-around entertainer, the soul of a true survivor, and the balls of a brass monkey.”
So don’t miss out on this awesome experience and come out to see Milt Trenier on June 30th at 7:30PM at Twiggs Park!
