Close Out April with the Soulful Sounds of Mike Milazzo at Sono 1420 America’s Maritime Distillery. 


Wrap up the month with the unforgettable sound of Mike Milazzo, a standout voice in Americana and alternative music.

Known for his evocative storytelling and signature blend of wooden and electric instruments, Milazzo’s music is both deeply personal and widely relatable. His latest EP, Blood Moon, weaves together moody textures and poetic lyrics across five distinct tracks.
