Milwaukee's Electri-Violet Keeps It Fresh After Two Decades

John Plankenhorn and Carole Ferrara of the band electri-violet.

Local guitarist John Plankenhorn and singer Carol Ferrara have been playing together for more than two decades. Their current group,electri-violet, is set to release an album this spring which will feature a new set of original songs written by Plankenhorn.

Over the years, the duo has allowed their sound to shift and evolve, a choice that has given them more freedom to write and grow in their music.

Plankenhorn and Ferrara joined Lake Effect’s Joy Powers in the performance studio to play a few of their latest songs:
