Well, a year of intermittent Wednesdays, but still a LOT of Wednesdays in 2019 were spent at Threadgill’s! I was honored to be asked to play a residency there in the Spring, and Midweek Modern Troubadours was born. I played (give or take) 4 months of weekly shows in May, June, September, and October. All of these kind, lovely, and TALENTED AS HECK musicians agreed to be my guests. Part of it still feels like a thing I just made up in my head of, “Wouldn’t it be cool if…?” But these people all joined me on stage and every single show was a unique little adventure.

Thanks to everyone who came once or twice or, for some of you…to just about most of these shows! I’ve stolen some of your photos…thank you for documenting these things when I was busy trying to play in the right key up there. (A bunch of these are by Spring Willow Lee…thanks Spring!)

I’ve linked to everyone’s websites – please check out their music and support them!
