Quartet for Vespers at St. Andrew's-Wesley United Church
On Sunday, August 11, 2024 at 4pm, a special quartet that has never played together before performed at St. Andrew's-Wesley United Church's Jazz Vespers series.
Madeleine Elkins on guitar, Justin Juan on piano, and Todd Stewart on drums joined me to play selections from both my albums, Aim to Stay and Maybe Eventually.
It was my first time playing the series, thanks to the invitation of Ben MacRae. Learn more about Ben from my conversation with him on the Rhythm Changes Podcast this year.

I have also done podcasts with two of my band mates: Justin (with whom I'm playing for the first time ever) and Todd (who joined me on the Will Clements and Thomas Houlden gigs this year).
