Live Music at Clear Lounge Tonight!

The Milwaukee-based Vitrolum Republic is best described as a collection of sounds including ’Gypsy Noir,’ reflecting not only cultural touch tones of their music, but also as a statement of aesthetics both musically and visually.

Their original compositions blur genres, combining classical elements with singer-songwriter, folk, bluegrass, blues and gypsy tango stylings. Their music is diverse, and draws upon the acoustic instrumentation each member brings to the stage; violin, piano, acoustic guitar, accordion, mandolin, banjo, upright bass and a variety of percussion instruments that are both subdued and dynamic.
