I rarely meet artists I've known about for years but have never seen. That is exactly what happened at the Lava Club on February 28, 2026.
There were supposed to be three sets curated by James Ilgenfritz with his duo and trio playing the first and last set, and Bill Brovold & Richard Carr playing in the middle. However, because of the musicians arival time, that duo played first. Despite my first live encounter with their music, the music felt immediately familiar and refreshing.
Looking forward to a fun show at 8pm on Saturday at @___lava__club - Secret location near Atlantic and Hoyt. RSVP at the link in the bio to get the address...
8pm - JI + Joe McPhee + Sean Meehan
9pm - Bill Brovold + Richard Carr
10pm - JI + Steve Swell
