I play a lot of different kinds of music and one of the bands I perform with regularly in Chicago is The Jordan Years, a soul/funk/hip-hop group. Recently we’ve been working on a collaboration with the long-running Chicago comedy troupe Schadenfreude and calling it The City That Works. We had the opportunity to play at the great Chicago venue Martyrs’ as part of the TBS Just For Laughs Festival with Rhymefest as a special guest. Though I didn’t know who he was beforehand, he’s a hip-hop artist from Chicago who, among other things, has won a Grammy award for writing the Kanye West song “Jesus Walks.” I don’t play a ton in this clip, but still thought it’d be fun to post. Especially since I don’t have many video clips of myself playing!

If you’re interested in checking out The City That Works, we’ll be performing on July 8th at Lincoln Hall.
