SmallsLIVE/Mezzrow Newsletter - "Greetings from Montreal"

July 11th, 2016

Hello Friends:

Please excuse the brevity of this message as I've completely run out of time. I'm up here in Montreal collaborating with my friends from Les Sept Doigts de la Main - an amazing theater/circus group. It's my pleasure to work on composing some music for their next show but my time got the best of me.

As usual many great and interesting shows at both Smalls and Mezzrow this week. I hope you can make it down. As always, I urge you to become a subscribing member and gain access to our remarkable audio/video archive, which is growing week by week by at least 30 shows per week. It's a winding, rabbit warren of recordings, mysterious shows, forgotten heroes. Well worth exploring and investigating. Also, all subscription revenue is pooled and distributed directly to the artists and in support of the clubs. I'm promise you'll get a lot from it and we appreciate the support.

I hope to see you in one or two of our clubs this week!

PEACE,

Spike
