Old Brown Shoes at White Lilac

Led by Kenosha blues fixture Danny Crucianelli, Old Brown Shoes is the culmination of decades spent steeped in Wisconsin’s barroom circuits, jam sessions, and DIY music culture. Crucianelli has long been a familiar face in southeastern Wisconsin, cutting his teeth in multiple local bands and projects before carving out Old Brown Shoes as a more personal, exploratory outlet—one that lets him roam freely between classic blues structures, gritty originals, and unexpected turns.
Known for his multi-instrumental chops and restless musical curiosity, Danny approaches the blues less as a museum piece and more as a living language. His playing reflects years of listening, gigging, collaborating, and absorbing influences across genres, resulting in sets that feel loose but intentional—steeped in tradition yet shaped by a distinctly modern, local voice.
At White Lilac, that history comes into sharp focus. In a room built for attention and nuance, Crucianelli’s songs and stories land close, personal, and unfiltered—exactly the kind of environment where his long road through the regional scene pays off in every note.
Danny's A veteran musician. A hometown original. And a blues project that keeps evolving.
