THIS THURS: Joe Jackson @ Michigan A^2

This show makes, I believe, the fourth consecutive decade to present me the privilege of seeing Joe Jackson in concert. Ow, my mortality! Every show has been very different from the last ("Heaven and Hell" was one of my favorite concerts of all time) so I'm still excited for each new chance!

Joe Jackson is taking his stellar ensemble on the road this fall.  The touring band will include Regina Carter on violin, long-time Jackson collaborator, percussionist Sue Hadjopoulos, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Allison Cornell, Jesse Murphy on bass, Adam Rogers on guitar, and Nate Smith on drums.

The show will consist of music from Joe's new album The Duke (Joe's unique interpretations of Duke Ellington classics) and original songs taken from throughout Joe's own 30-year writing and recording career, from LOOK SHARP to RAIN.

Listen for a familiar hometown voice on this crazy-catchy take on an Ellington classic.
