Milwaukee’s Addiction would like to thank everyone that joined us at Cue Club of Wisconsin last night for the debut of the newest members of the Addiction family, Brian James Fox and Jay Bartholomew! Even though there were a few other cool events going on last night, many of our frequent fans came out to support Addiction, and we really appreciate that!
Special thanks to the Cue Club of Wisconsin & TEC – The Entertainment Company for the booking, Phillip & Taylor for running sound & lights, the Cue Club staff for keeping the drinks flowing and the excellent food, Bill Sterk & Tina Kobriger for some photos, and all our fans, friends and families that rocked with us!
Addiction rocks the Tipsy Turtle in Muskego, WI – 3/27/26
Saturday night March 27th was definitely the end of an era for Milwaukee’s Addiction. Two long-time band members played their last show with us. It was an emotional night for all of us and many of our fans too. Greg Pritz was the only remaining founding member of Addiction and saw the band go through many changes over the years. Chris Cauwels came aboard in 2021 and solidified the lineup that was blessed to play at Summerfest, State Fair, theaters, casinos, and some of the best clubs & bars around. Chris’ brother Craig has also been a huge help to Addiction ever since Chris joined, acting as his drum tech, our stage manager, roadie, photographer, and even guitar pedalboard fixer! Then there’s the glue that helped hold this lineup together, the Addiction Chicks! Kris, Colleen, Jill, Irina & Paula put up with a ton of crazy over the years, but always stood by us on the sometimes crazy ride of band life. We’re really going to miss those people that are shifting gears, but they’ll always be family and I’m sure we’ll still see them around.
Special thanks to Tim, Jim and Tom of The Tipsy Turtle Patio and Grill (and prayers to Tim’s family) for hosting, Zoy for doin his thing, Brandon for running an excellent sound & light show, the Turtle staff for keeping up with the packed crowd, Tim for capturing the night in pictures (a link will be posted soon), and all of our fans, friends & families that helped us wish Greg & Chris all the best in their next chapters!

Sending out a huge Thank You to everyone that rocked with us and TRIXTER last Friday night at The Bend Theater! Milwaukee’s Addiction got things started with a rowdy set of our favorites, and the crowd jumped in right away, singing along from song one! Trixter followed with a super tight set that kept the crowd on their feet all night long! The Bend Theater itself, and the crew there, were just awesome! The sound & lights were absolutely smokin’ and the bartenders kept everyone’s drinks flowing. Special thanks to the super friendly guys in Trixter; Steve, PJ & Ben, they were just amazing on stage and off!
