Amplifier Community Connection is a dynamic and community-focused initiative led by Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Chad “C-Note” Roper. With monthly events that run from March through October, the program has made a significant impact on Milwaukee’s music community by providing an invaluable platform for learning, networking and entertainment.

Amplifier’s goal is to reach a wide and engaged audience with its events, which are held in person, broadcast live on the program’s Facebook page, distributed as downloadable podcasts on all major platforms, and available to watch on our YouTube page.

This season, Amplifier is taking its commitment to the community even further. In addition to insightful conversations with experts, we’re introducing live performances by artists and a unique opportunity for local musicians to have their work critiqued by industry professionals. This expansion will not only enhance the program, but grow its reach in the community. Here are the guests for our 2024 season:

• March 22 — Marcella Araica (Grammy-winning producer/mix engineer)
• April 27 — Lamont Smith (financial-literacy expert)
• May 25 — Cedric Dale Hoard, MS (licensed professional counselor for Mental Health Month)
