Although tour has now ended, I am going to pick up where I left off and continue giving some day-to-day posts from the road. These will lead up to Polyrhythmics’ big shows in Portland this Friday and Bend this Saturday, as well as the grand finale in Seattle on November 24. A few things about […]

Tour Blog, Fall 2018, Day 6
Polyrhythmics play Chicago for the first time! My sister has lived in Chicago for some years now, so I was happy she would get the chance to see the band in her town. As it turned out, the venue, the Tonic Room, was about a 10-minute-walk from her apartment, so it was an area I […]
Tour Blog, Fall 2018, Day 4
On Tuesday night we played in St. Paul, Minnesota, at a club called Vieux Carre. Vieux Carre is a sit-down dinner club that focuses on the food and culture of New Orleans, as evidenced by the name. The walls of the club are covered with beautiful black and white photos like the one below of […]
Jazz Shows
I had the opportunity to bounce around a bit this weekend, and really wanted to hear some jazz, so I went to several shows/sessions that I absolutely loved this weekend: Brass Tacks in Georgetown with Ron Weinstein, Jeff Johnson, and Mike Stone: I had heard about Brass Tacks before; I think Darian Asplund has had […]
Lottie’s Lounge
Great gig at Lottie’s Lounge with Eric Hullander and Papa Josh the other night. I got a chance to really dig into some standards that I haven’t played in a long time, and all three of us were listening close. I found myself thinking a lot about the old Dexter and Hayes sessions I used […]

San Diego: Our San Diego show was in the beach town of Ocean Beach, at Winston’s, where we’d played once before and had a really successful show. Unlike last time, I went to the beach for a little while before we started, which was gorgeous! A nice last look before we turned East. Then I […]
Tour Post #1
Okay, so I waited a little longer than I would have liked to post my first tour blog, but I’m going to try to give a quick rundown of our first couple of stops: Our first stop was at the Applegate Lodge in Applegate, Oregon, which was a great first show because we had played […]
April Excitement
I had a nice excursion North to Bellingham the last couple of days; Theoretics had a solid first Bellingham show at the Wild Buffalo, and I was able to spend the following day with Karl, drummer for the band Polecat, who the Polyrhythmics have shared bills and festivals with pretty frequently. It was good to […]
