Established in 2021, Tigera is an Alternative Pop Rock quintet based out of Milwaukee, WI. Taking inspiration from the forerunners of the Garage Rock revival of the early 00’s and Pop Rock outfits of the 70’s and 80’s, Tigera has developed a unique sound that flirts with danceable disco-adjacent grooves and over-the-top rock machismo.
In their short time writing and performing together, Tigera released a two part EP, aptly titled, Part I (2021) and Part II (2022.) Their music tackles themes of love and self reflection in a seemingly autobiographical way.
Six short months after the band’s first show, they were voted Best Rock Band in the Shepherd Express’ “Best Of Milwaukee 2021" and received the same aware in 2022. They’ve performed various major regional festival spots including Summer Soulstice (2022, 2023) Chill On the Hill (2022), Electric Love Festival (2022), SummerFest (2022), and Ashley for the arts Festival (2023).
Tigera also takes pride in helping the community. They often sponsor different charities at their performances with the mindset that if we are all to gather, we should gather with a purpose. In addition to their charity involvement, Tigera started the Milwaukee Music Village (MMV). MMV is a networking event and promotional group that helps bring the Milwaukee music industry together to foster new partnerships and support artists in the city.
