Hi!
I’m in the midst of a big period of activity that’s got me going in multiple places. But in the end, I’m always finding that the encounters and sharing bring joy. Here’s a post from last Monday’s show that I like. Our gathering was really strong for the collective purpose, and a personal highlight was to get such positive feedback from fellow performer Ruthann Friedman, who wrote one of my favorite songs from the sixties (“Windy,” by the Association) and is still writing strong work today. Still with link to video of Hope Again.

I loved the strangeness of playing in a bar on Thursday for the first time in years. And Friday in San Luis was so perfect to make music at a nursery that supports Transitions-Mental Health Association. And I was surprised there by a friend from college that I hadn’t seen since college! So many little things in the world make you feel like it is indeed small, and we’re taken care of. That’s important to acknowledge when you can in these days.
Okay, acknowledging that I have some shows coming up.
Saturday, our featured guest for Second Saturdays is Alfred Johnson! He’s the cowriter—with Rickie Lee Jones—of one of my favorite songs, “Company,” from her debut album, which I sang in Cambria not too long ago for a Rickie Lee Jones and Tom Waits tribute. I’m honored to have him as a dear recent friend who’ll join us for a set. (Read his bio and get more info on my site.) I’ll also be doing a set. And we expect to have a guest or two. This is a little different than we’ve done things in the past, but it reflects the practicality of how to sustain this series. We may be changing the name, too. Jazz Night doesn’t quite encapsulate all we do. And we’re now offering other ways to support the show. Going forth, the pricing structure will be listed as:
$25 — Suggested Entry
$35 — Supporter
$50 — Patron (helps sustain the music + space)
$10 — Student / Low Income (everyone is welcome)
Pay on Venmo
Pay on PayPal
Eventbrite tickets
If we’re able to generate a little more income, we’ll be able to comfortably support our artists and hopefully establish a video feed for out-of-towners and someone to operate it! I wear a lot of hats on these nights, so I’m looking to shed a couple. 🙂
Then on Mother’s Day (Sunday), I’ll be at Library Girl again, this time not playing, but reading a new story about my mother. This is in Santa Monica at the Ruskin Theater in the Santa Monica Airport. Get tickets here.
The following week I’ll be in Santa Monica again on the 21st at the UnUrban for a FAR-West showcase curated by my friends, Joselyn and Don. They did a Second Saturdays last year and will be part of the song circle following the two featured sets, one by Mary Scholz and one by me. Get tickets and info here.
That’s enough for now. So much good stuff. You can get all the details on my site jasonluckett.com, on the socials, and through linktr.ee/jasonluckett. Please make sure to like, share, and RSVP so we can build up this community!
Can’t wait to see you soon!
