Hey all,
May 20th will be my last weekly stream for a while. Thanks to everyone who has tuned in the past year! It has been pleasure to hold down the bandstand and play for you all during these strange times. Look forward to seeing you in 3D sometime soon. Keep an eye out for some spontaneous summer streams and maybe something regular again farther down the road. Also, I’ll be using my evenings to start work on some new albums. Join my mailing list if you’d like to hear about it all!
Thanks,
Jack

Hey all,

I will be breaking the ice by performing a duo set with Jonathan Doyle at the Keg and I on April 3rd from 4-6pm. It’s their reopening, so please come by the back porch for some physically distanced socializing.

Check my schedule page for info on my other shows in April and beyond:
