Looking forward to being with you this summer, and discovering what blooms between us. 🌻

We’re so grateful for the amazing people we’ve met and gotten to share our music with (that means you!) And so excited to return to our fan-family all around Lake Michigan for a juicy May tour featuring Grant Flick on violin, Christo Ruppenthal on Hawaiian lap steel and guitar, and Tom Knific on upright bass.

• 5/7 Ore Dock, Marquette, MI

• 5/9 Traditions of Jazz presents at Great Northern Distilling, Steven’s Point, WI

• 5/10 North Street Cabaret, Madison, WI

Traveling has a way of revealing the way that the places we live in connect together into something larger. Like connecting one note to the next reveals the melody, things start to make more sense the more we connect. 💞

Looking forward to seeing you, in this land of Big Water we’re so glad to call home! Here’s a playful trickle of the darling song, Coquette. 💧

Here’s the math on that - we play THREE nights in a row at Detroit’s historic Cliff Bell’s, two shows each night (6 shows). We’re also looking forward to a romantic evening with all y’all good folks out in Lansing for our return to Urban Beat on the 25th (now it’s 7 shows), and we always have a joyful dinner and a show with our good friends and neighbors in Toledo at Lucille’s Jazz Lounge on the 30th ( and 8 😎).

• 4/16-4/18 Cliff Bells, Detroit, MI

• 4/25 Urban Beat, Lansing, MI

• 4/30 Lucille’s Jazz Lounge, Toledo, OH

Take a look at one of our favorite numbers from The Ark:

This winter we’ve been taking it slow, taking time to rest, just like the Earth does this time of year. We’re getting ready to grow and bloom with the coming of the seasons ahead by nurturing ourselves with both quietness and laughter, solitude and togetherness.

We’d love to share some togetherness with you, if you’re anywhere near Detroit on December 31st, come ring in the New Year with us! It’ll be an intimate concert at Alpino in Corktown— with exquisite euro-inspired food and music to match. Tickets are limited— Reserve your seat and celebrate with us.

Click the screenshot below to enjoy our recent video invitation, and whether or not you can make it to NYE — we hope you can come celebrate the legacy of Django Reinhardt with us at The Ark in January.

Peace and Love to you, now and always, from our hearts to yours ❤️

We did so many shows, took so many trips, had a blast with amazing audiences, explored new stages, and even did a little bit of swing dancing!

We are now easing into chilly season with a whole heart of gratitude, and a few more stellar shows to tuck into before the darkest night of the year… (and a special little hometown show after the solstice too 😉.)

• 10/25 So Wild a Place - Glass City Metropark, Toledo, OH

Tomorrow night! A fundraiser in support of conservation! Bonus: Check out the art for this event… (see below) and you might notice it’s Bad Love Design— the same artist who did the album covers for both the Djangophonique albums.

• 11/8 Acoustic Routes - Stony Lake Brewing, Saline, MI

• 11/21 Connecting Chords Festival - Bell’s Eccentric Cafe, Kalamazoo, MI

• 11/22 Lucille’s Jazz Lounge - Toledo, OH

See you soon, and bundle up out there, we’ve finally exited summertime! 🍁

We hope to see you there <3

Tyler, Andrew & Katie start their roadtrip out to Django in June this Saturday, where Andrew and Katie will be teaching campers on their respective instruments. Stay tuned for hijinks and epic jams!

Before we head out, we’re squeezing in a couple shows:

• 6/5 The Whitney, Detroit

• 6/7 12-3pm The Dixboro Project, Dixboro

When we roll back into town just over a week later, that’s when the summer really gets cooking!

• 6/20 7-11pm Fishbones, Detroit

• 6/24 A2SF Top of The Park, Ann Arbor

• 6/27 Urban Beat, Lansing

• 6/28 3:30pm Smiling Acres Music Fest, Trufant

• 6/29 The Book Nook & Java Shop, Montague

And all of that is just JUNE! July is looking pretty good to, to be honest…

We’re also excited to announce the Hot Club of Michigan: a welcoming community to play, learn, and grow in this social music together. To start we will be holding monthly jam sessions beginning Ann Arbor, and hopefully adding more jam sessions & workshops across the state! While the focus is for those who are ready to jump in and get playing, it’s also open to those who may just want to spectate. If you’re interested in joining this new community, let us know here!
