Music Night On Jupiter

Hey everyone!! The Mr. Smalls Theatre Virtual Benefit Show is happening this Sunday, with performances from Lotus, The Commonheart, Liz Berlin, Phat Man Dee &... more! And that 'more' might mean you, too! If anybody who contributed an original song to an AcoustiCafe Watch Party last year is willing to re-share the link (could message me or reply to this message), they'd be psyched to include some more local original music in the stream. I'm not sure what format the videos need to be in, I know we had to be FB only for our watch parties, but will find out. As the venue brushes itself off and clambers up to a proper rock stance after a 15-month pandemic closure, efforts like this benefit show will help turn hurdles into legos on the floor, turn legos into packing peanuts, and packing peanuts into subatomic extremely comfy particles - so we hope you can participate and/or join the audience for this event! Thanks, and rock on!!

"Is it just me or is there a wall where a window should be And a fire coming down the hallway? Is it wise, is it bold, to be stranded and cold, all alone? Becau...se I only wanna learn the hard way..." A taste of 'Saint Patrick Park' from our upcoming Dualité II EP. Pre-save it now: https://music.sweetcrudeband.com/dualite-2

Yinz really REALLY (really) should go see John perform Saturday at the Thunderbird. One of the most talented, hardest working, and nicest people we know. Smiles guaranteed.

A Friend of Jupiter doing good work!

The last show I saw before COVID hit was the great New Orleans keyboardist John "Papa" Gros at a house concert. He'll be back this Saturday at the Thunderbird.... He's continuing the tradition of Fess, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, Huey Piano Smith, James Booker, etc. and contributing his own great songs to the canon. Don't miss this intimate night with one of the masters. https://www.facebook.com/events/242882234295758 See more

Grey day in Brooklyn means perfect time to transcribe :) Here's Cannonball Adderley's perfect little solo on "A Sleepin' Bee" off of his incredible album with Nancy Wilson.

830pm: I will live-stream myself playing improvisational drums juxtaposed simultaneously by the sound of Steven Leaf live-streaming himself using a plethora, NA...Y a myriad of gadgets, as well as a wooden electric guitar, to create sounds. We sincerely hope this two-phase transmission will evoke at least two iotas of joy, and encourage the enjoyment of your own complex human experience. See more
