On July 6, Neil McLinden returns to the MAC stage. Neil is a New York City based singer, actor, and multi-instrumentalist. Originally from Brookfield, he began playing piano and singing from an early age, and quickly developed an interest in many different musical styles. In New York City, Neil is a musical theater accompanist and performance teacher at the Neighborhood Playhouse school of acting, and also produces and performs music with his friends and associates.

Blackthorn Folly will perform on the South Terrace at MAC on July 20. Blackthorn Folly is a five piece traditionally inspired band from the Milwaukee area, playing traditional Celtic tunes, pub songs, American standards, and even some pop music with high energy and a ground stomping tempo.
