Zach Pietrini, an Americana musician from the Milwaukee area, was selected as the 2018 Spring Green musician in residence Oct. 7-20. Pietrini was named 2017’s “Best Live Act in Milwaukee” by Milwaukee Magazine, has won the Wisconsin Singer Songwriter Series, and is consistently nominated for various Wisconsin music awards. The residency review panel described Pietrini as having a sincere, relatable sound, and being poised to benefit from his time in Spring Green. Springboard initiated this idea for it's first Musician in Residency thanks to a generous grant from the Spring Green Area Arts Coalition. It developed in collaboration with the Shitty Barn and local businesses and venues.
