• Notes: Using the title of a classic stage play or movie as inspiration, storytellers and poets write poems and stories to be read aloud. Writers may pen a personal story inspired by the themes of the play. They may write in the voice of a character from the play and tell his or her back story. Or they may simply riff on the words in the title. Whatever the writer’s approach, BACKSTORY has consistently been a fascinating and eclectic night of theatre. This month the play is “A Raisin in the Sun.”

This will be new! A rare occurrence… kind of like my crooning in this photo by Cary Baker from this month’s 8th Annual Nilsson tribute. 

On August 4, for First Fridays Jazz Night, with Jason Luckett & Friends, we’ll have various alumni from the first six shows returning… and mostly they’ll be covering me! 

“What?!?,” you say!?!

Each time I’ve done these shows, I’ve wanted everyone back for the next one because that night had felt so good! So, for August, I wanted to have people come back to celebrate a successful first 6 months, and my birthday! I couldn’t conceptualize it fully though, so one of the artists suggested that they cover my songs. 

I could be nonchalant about it, but, whoa! The idea touched me deeply.

The songs and artists are still being finalized, but I’m really excited to share this night with them and you all! 

Of course, I’ll play a set of my own stuff, too, with a standard or two as a respectful nod to the tradition. 

So please plan to come for the night, celebrate our intertwined communities of artists, family and friends. 

Friday, August 4, 
7:30 doors, 
8:00 showtime, show goes until 10:30
