For the latest installment of the Back Stage Concert Series, local metalheads No Loving Place played one of their popular acoustic sets, and singer/songwriter Brian Bethke (not shown) debuted a brand new band.

At the Back Stage Concert Series, the bands, the audience, and the bar are all right on the State Theatre stage among the bricks, rigging, and lights – a space theater patrons rarely get to see. The usual auditorium is curtained off to create a unique back-stage environment where music lovers of all ages can gather to see performances from some of the best Chippewa Valley bands.
