LOCAL SOUNDS. The 715 Series has found its home at the Pablo Center in Eau Claire and will return for a second season through 2027. This seven-show music offering will kickoff with a performance by Green Bay's own Tae & The Neighborly at 7:15pm on Nov. 19.

Held in the Pablo Center at the Confluence's Robert Manz Green Room (128 Graham Ave., Eau Claire), last year's 715 Series offered audiences a handful of community-centered performances in a newly renovated space. That first season offered just a glimpse of what will unfold as the 715 Series continues throughout the year ahead.

Those in attendance for Courtney Hartman, Lanue, Hemma or other featured artists last year experienced firsthand the magical intersections of story and song. The upcoming iteration of the 715 Series promises this, too, with its latest cohort – not defined by any singular genre – featuring performances by J.E. Sunde, The Spine Stealers, Pit Wagon and more.

Set within the Pablo Center’s rejuvenated Manz Green Room (its new additions focused on treating the space for live performance), concert goers can look forward to more intimate musical gatherings, as compared to shows in its larger RCU and JAMF Theatre spaces.

Taylor Marshall, head audio engineer at the Pablo Center and this year's 715 Series booker, describes these serene moments as a chance to discover new musicians and reconnect with familiar local talents.

“We’ve got a really great mix of talent this season, and the Green Room is such a fun space to experience live music,” Marshall shared in a media release. “You’re right there with the artists, and every show feels a little different. That’s what makes this series special.”

The 715 Series lineup for 2026-2027

All performances begin at 7:15pm within in the Robert Manz Green Room at the Pablo Center at the Confluence (128 Graham Ave., Eau Claire). Individual tickets are $20 per performance. Recurring attendees can also purchase the complete seven-show bundle for $105 ($15/show).

• Nov. 19 – Tae & The Neighborly

This year's lineup will include brand new sounds from some of its artists. Hailing from Madison, folk ensemble The Spine Stealers recently unveiled their single “Blood Moon” – their newest release since 2025 – with even more coming down the line.

Closer to home, J.E. Sunde recently collaborated with frequent musical partner Shane Leonard on his upcoming album, Make The Birds Fly. A versatile creative, Sunde remains a mainstay in the region; he not only shares his own music but supports fellow Chippewa Valley artists through songwriting.

To round out the series next spring, the local country, folk and blues collective Pit Wagon is slated to present their third full-length album Not OK Coral. The record, to be released later this December, was engineered and mixed by local talent – Brian Joseph at Hive, mastered by Zach Hanson.

It goes without saying, music lovers and downtown Eau Claire fans alike can anticipate a new season packed with familiar faces and fresh tunes. Tickets to individual shows in the 715 Series ($20/person) – alongside its seven-show package deals – are available now via pablocenter.org.
