A music venue in downtown Appleton is re-opening, and the new owner is a co-founder of Mile of Music.
Dave Willems and his festival team will be running Gibson’s Music Hall on College Avenue. He’s re-branding it, as Gibson’s Community Music Hall. He wants to support a community initiative during every event.
Willems plans to bring back Mile of Music artists and bands. He says about 800 have played in Appleton over the first seven years.
He says they can’t all be in the festival again, so the new venue gives them a chance to return.
