Livestream ep. 208 - last normal stream for a while! 

Hey friends! 

I'm looking ahead at the calendar and realizing that because of family plans, live gigs, and my composing job for Circus Smirkus, this is going to be the last regularly scheduled stream that I can do until at least July! I'm thinking about doing a studio tear-down stream in mid-June before we move 3.5 miles down the road to a new home (and new studio location). Maybe I'll do a studio rebuild stream too from the new place. More details on that as it gets closer, but in the meantime, let's enjoy one last jam!

StreamS this week! 

I've been a little quiet on Twitch recently... But NOT THIS WEEK!! 

Tomorrow (5/25) at 6pm ET, it's Wah-Wah Wednesday 

Saturday (5/28) at 3:30pm ET, join me for SaxDragon's The Cultural Exchange! (see the full lineup here - it's a terrific music event that SaxDragon generously and regularly hosts!) 

And... 

Sunday (5/29) at 3pm ET, Sunday Funday is BACK! 

Come hang out at https://twitch.tv/jimlutzmusic - hope to see you there!

Livestream this week! 

This week's schedule looks an awful lot like last week's schedule! 

It'll just be Wednesday again at 6pm ET, at https://twitch.tv/jimlutzmusic as always. 

Sunday I'm not planning to stream as I've got a rehearsal that afternoon with the Garden State Jazz Orchestra, getting ready to play on 5/26 with the fantastic Alexa Tarantino who is their featured guest soloist. That should be a pretty great gig! 

Hope to see you for wah-wah Wednesday!

2 streams this weekend! 

Hi friends, 

I'm happy to be on the mend from my little cold this week, and excited for a couple of very special streams this weekend! 

First off, I'll be part of the Twitch Jazz Festival this weekend, for which the whole lineup is listed in the pictures (times are in UTC, so you'll have to calculate the time zones...). I'll be starting around 7pm ET on Saturday, April 30 as part of that festival, and again on Sunday May 1 at 3pm ET. The next week I'm on the road again with Dallas Brass, so please come by and say hi this weekend! Both streams are at:

No stream tonight 

Picked up a nasty little cold on tour with Dallas Brass (thankfully negative for covid though!) so I will take tonight off to rest. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday night at 7 for my slot in the Twitch Jazz Fest, and Sunday at 3pm for the usual hijinks!

Weekly streams, with a couple cool milestones! 

Hello friends, 

I am back on my feet after a whirlwind tour of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas with Dallas Brass... Wow, I forgot how demanding touring can be! But it's so satisfying and rewarding, too. We met a lot of new friends and I had a chance to bond with the guys in the band, which was a lot of fun. And we had fun playing great shows for people who really enjoyed them. So it was great stuff all around! 

I'm celebrating a couple of very cool milestones on the Twitch stream this week - first off, I just passed 600 followers, for which I'm very thankful! Got a bunch of new followers from the tour, which is pretty neat. 

And on Sunday, I'm celebrating my 200th livestream! It'll be a fun time, so come on down!

Wed April 6, 6pm ET 

Sun Apr 10, 3pm ET 

See you then!

Streams this week (last ones for a while - be sure to tune in!) 

Getting excited to head out on the road next week with the Dallas Brass! Check out their tour page and see if I'm in your neighborhood! 

I'll be streaming 2 more times before I hit the road, and after that, I'm not sure when I'll be on again. So don't miss out - we're having a great time, making some nice music, and raising money on the air for Ukrainian relief. 

Come by https://twitch.tv/jimlutzmusic (all times US Eastern) 

Wednesday, March 9 at 6pm 

Sunday, March 13 at NOON (NOT 2pm!) 

Hope to see you then!

Sunflower / Fragile: A live loop inspired by Ukraine 

Last Sunday, I was thinking about the suffering in Ukraine, and started off the stream with the usual Sunday Sunflower - albeit with a different meaning. Since the war started, I learned that the sunflower is Ukraine's national flower. So that song hits a bit differently now. And after Sunflower, I segued into a rendition of Sting's poignant song "Fragile." I hope you enjoy it, and if you're able, please consider helping those affected by the violence: 

Donate to Ukrainian Refugees ► https://help.rescue.org/donate/ukraine-acq

Donate to Ukrainian Children ► https://voices.org.ua/en/donat/

Donate to the Ukrainian Red Cross ► https://redcross.org.ua/en/donate/

Today's stream (3/6 at 2pm ET) will also be a fundraiser for the people affected by the war - join me at https://twitch.tv/jimlutzmusic

Just one stream this week! (probably) 

Hey all! 

Busy playing in-person gigs this week - boy, does it feel good to say that! 

The bad news is there's no weeknight stream this week. 

But I will be playing Sunday at 2pm ET at https://twitch.tv/jimlutzmusic - just like usual. 

I might be able to squeeze in a pop-up stream during the day Thursday or Friday - we'll see. I'll probably post here if so, but you can also follow me and turn on notifications at https://twitch.tv/jimlutzmusic - or if you're tech savvy, you can join my Discord at http://discord.gg/QWec5CyZm6 , go to "Get On A Role" and select the "Boneheads" role - either way, then you'll know as soon as I'm on! You can also see my schedule at https://www.twitch.tv/jimlutzmusic/schedule 

Thanks as always, and hope to see you soon in chat!
