I’m excited to be back this year in a program with a wonderful group of artists performing Saturday night @ 6:30pm. Go to mxroots.org/special-events for the full line up. I’ll be singing and performing an excerpt of the piece I wrote for the Emmett Till Project last August called “Three Playing Fields” about my parents and my relationship to the racial violence that rocked us in our youths in quite different ways. It’s not an easy piece for me. And if you’re thinking of bringing children, there are expletives and discussion of sexuality that may provoke conversations that you may find difficult with pre-teens. But I promise you it will be a powerful evening.

New Press and Videos
Hi! Just thought you might like to know about a couple additions to the site and other links.
I’ve added some press clippings from March, which you can find here: [cref 145 Jason Luckett Press].
I’ve also updated my YouTube channel, so it all makes a little more sense. Check it out here: Jason Luckett YouTube.
And here’s a new clip from last week at Kulak’s Woodshed:

I started working on a new video with Simko last weekend. Hopefully we’ll finish it up when I get back from Texas.
Hope to see you or your proxies in Texas over the next few days. [cref 2974 The Bugle Boy show is Saturday].

-->Sat. 2/26: "Freedom Songs" @ La Canada UMC
An evening of Freedom Songs with my friend, David Crittendon. This will be our second performance of this show. It’s very exciting to share these songs with David, who not only was a part of the roots music scene here in LA during the 60s, but was also part of Freedom Summer in Mississippi. I feel like we’re reaching the source when we’re playing!
