See you there: Jazz at the Bolt 2026

It's time for Jazz at the Bolt, my third time working on the annual festival at Cellar. Here's where you might bump into me:

  • tonight (Friday night), Frankie's emceeing both the 8pm show and the After Dark
  • tomorrow (Saturday), at the Shadbolt throughout the day. I play a set in the Madeleine Elkins Trio, alongside Kevin Romain, in Room 102 starting at 3:30pm.
  • Sunday at the Shadbolt throughout the day.

I can't promise to be downtown for any other events there, like the Saturday night After Dark jam or the District Bar after-party on Monday evening. But I could make a last-minute appearance I guess. I recommend you consider going to those if you play.

To see who's playing, go directly to the schedule page at jazzatthebolt.com/schedule. (I formatted it in the "gig list style"). That said, I'll leave you with a some personal recommendations of local sets at the festival, to pick just three per day:
