I’ve been dreaming about getting back to work on @sweptawaymusical since the night we closed our world premiere run at @berkeleyrep over a year ago. I don’t think I’ve ever felt less “finished” with a part or a project as I have with ‘The Mate’ and this extraordinary piece. I’m deeply grateful to @arenastage for gifting us another crack at it. Can’t wait to reunite with my shipmates this November and embark upon the next leg of this epic journey in Washington, D.C. Tickets go on sale next week. Come join us. ⚓️ 📸 by @crackerfarm
ELKTON, MD! I’m comin’ for your crab cakes and your Old Bay so do what you gotta do to get ready. This Saturday, July 15th I will have the distinct honor of being the very first act to grace the stage at the grand opening of @elktonmusichall. It’s gonna be a special night of music with sets from two terrific headliners @ohhedead and @thecosmicguilt. Tickets are still available at the link in my bio. Come cut the ribbon with us! 📸 by @davidrosslawn
My #preserverockwood show at @rockwoodmusichall is two weeks away on Friday, July 21st at 10:30 PM. Tickets on sale now at the link in my bio. All sales and proceeds go to Rockwood. I haven’t played a full band show in NYC since 2021 but this one will be extra special because I’ll be playing my debut Rockwood Music Hall Recordings release Six Day Hurricane in its entirety plus some other JGJ mainstays. Come on out and rally for Rockwood. 📸 by legend @shervinfoto from the Six Day Hurricane album art sessions.
One week from tonight I’ll be onstage with my band at @rockwoodmusichall for a special fundraiser #preserverockwood show on Friday 7/21. I’ll be playing my first record Six Day Hurricane in its entirety plus some other gems, jams and jingles. This here pic was snapped by local legend @lithophyte at the record release show for Six Day Hurricane at Rockwood back in 2016. We sold that one out. I don’t know if JGJ has the heat OR the juice to draw that kind of crowd in 2023 but I’m hoping folks will come out and rally ‘round Rockwood ‘cause they need our love and support right now. Ticket link in bio. See you there? Ok cool see you there.
Thank you Maryland! Much love and congrats to @ronozer and everyone at the @elktonmusichall for a really fun grand opening last night. It was such a treat to share the stage with @thecosmicguilt and @ohhedead. Make sure to go check out a show in Elkton sometime. They’ve got a great line up on the books. Stop by @sonnysdeli_elkton for a sandwich and North Street Hotel and Liquors for a beer and some tales about George Thorogood’s glory days. Tell ‘em JGJ sent ya! 📸 by @joedeltufo

Gonna be bringing a little bit of this 2016 (pre-election of course) energy to the stage at @rockwoodmusichall this Friday for my #preserverockwood show at 10:30 PM. Me and my band will be playing the entirety of my first record Six Day Hurricane and more! Tickets are still available at the link in my bio. This video was captured at the Six Day Hurricane release show at Rockwood Music Hall in January 2016 by Steve Lippman. The band was @chrisjmorrissey on bass and @thaddebrock on guitar and @bdelaneyny on drums and @toddedwardcaldwell on keys.

NYC! @rockwoodmusichall needs our help to stay afloat in turbulent tides and since they’ve always been so generous, supportive, accommodating and inspiring to me through the years, I shall try my best to pay at least part of it back this month by taking their stage to play the entirety of my debut record Six Day Hurricane which Rockwood released on their indie label in 2016. Join me and my band on Friday, July 21st at 10:30 PM. to revisit this album and throw the heck down. Tickets are available now. Link in bio.

Goodness gracious. Getting out on the road and playing more shows is something I’ve been yearning to do for a very very long time. I could’ve and probably should’ve gotten on with it years ago but for a variety of scrambled reasons this seems to be the age that I’m finally putting my back into it and I am so grateful for the warm welcomes I’ve been receiving in cities I’ve never played before. Last night in Chicago was such a highlight. New friends. Old friends I haven’t seen in years. Past crushes. Grown up people I’ve known since they were children. Someone I met on my flight who decided to come out and catch the show. Locals. Local legends. Folks who traveled all the way from St. Louis, Kansas City, Texas and San Francisco to see and hear some live music. What a treasure. Everyone listened and responded and brought themselves to the table and then some. As Levon so perfectly put it, that was an adult portion. Thanks to @banditsontherun for sharing their sold out stage with me at @gmantavern. Thanks to @rparx for coming with me to run the merch table and make everything more fun. And thanks to the kind and generous people of the Windy City for the copious Old Styles, the multiple Malört shots and the many moving memories. I shall cherish it all. My hotel was on the street where they flipped the truck in The Dark Knight. That gave me a thrill. Happy Pride 🌈 and Go Chicago!
SAN FRANCISCO! I am headed your way this August for 4 NIGHTS at @clubfugazisf! 8/17-8/20. Tickets are on sale now. Link in bio. Haven’t played my own tunes in the Bay Area since 2019. Gonna be bringing a slew of songs to the stage from the new record I’ve been working on. Very excited to catch up with you all. 📸 @marcjfranklin
I had myself a ball in New Hope last night. Thanks to everyone at @johnandpetersnewhope for being so kind. Thanks to the crowd for turning up and staying out late with me. Thanks to @birdstreets for their terrific set. Thanks to @grandphonymusic for putting the show together. Thanks to @rparx for slinging merch, snapping this pic and pointing out that I was about to run a red light near the Holland Tunnel. I’ll be swinging back down to Pennsylvania for another show this summer to be announced soon so stay tuned! ✌🏻🤘🏻
Thank you New Jersey! I always have the very best time in Asbury Park. Thank you to @fantasticcatband for having me and to all the fine folks at @thewonderbarofficial. I’ve seen so many wonderful shows and had so many wonderful nights at that venue and last night was no exception.
Two more shots to rock in the month of June! See you this weekend in Chicago and next weekend in Asbury Park!
It isn’t summer until you’ve properly slayed and slay is just what we’re gonna do on Saturday, August 12th at the legendary @the_stone_pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey! This will be the first full band JGJ show since the fall of 2021. I am seriously stoked. Thanks to the maestro @rememberjones for organizing the 2nd annual Summer Slay and inviting me aboard the bill! Presale begins tomorrow. General admission on sale this Friday. Link for tickets in bio.
Psyched to say I have joined the bill for the grand opening of @elktonmusichall in Elkton, Maryland on Saturday July 15th! I’ll be christening the stage and warming up the room for @ohhedead and @thecosmicguilt. It’s sure to be an epic inaugural night of music. This will be my first time back in Maryland since 2016 so come on out and say hi and be the earliest birds to check out this brand new venue! Ticket link in bio!
Speaking of the shore! I’m heading down to Jersey next week to kick things off for my pals in the super-duper supergroup @fantasticcatband with a solo acoustic set at @thewonderbarofficial. I don’t have any pets but you best believe I’m getting there early for a Rum Bucket and to live vicariously through all the dog owners at Yappy Hour. Ticket link in bio!
