Multiple events in Milwaukee and Waukesha held throughout this June will celebrate what would have been Les Paul’s 110th birthday. Celebrations will begin with a virtual birthday on June 5th. A presentation about Les Paul, tours for all ages of the Les Paul exhibits at Discovery World and at the Waukesha County Historical Society & Museum, hands-on activities at both museums, and a special program for educators share the energy of Les Paul.
The Les Paul Foundation was established by Les Paul and became active in 2009. The foundation inspires innovative and creative thinking by sharing the legacy of Les Paul through support of music education, music recording, innovations, exhibits about Les Paul and medical research related to hearing, specifically finding a cure for tinnitus.
