Upcoming Shows

Tyler “Twerk” Thomson, bassist for the Shotgun Jazz Band, has come out with his debut release entitled Twerk Thomson Plays Unpopular Songs on his new record label, Twerk-O-Phonic Records. It's a different type of traditional jazz album-- these cuts are gritty and accompanied by the pops and hisses that give vinyl recordings their character and charm. The project came into existence after Thomson acquired a Presto K8 lathe from the 1930s, restored it, and used it as a launching point for his new label.

He and his band will be performing live in our studio on Thursday, March 9 during the New Orleans Music Show with host Michael Dominici. Tune in around 1p to check out this unique performance! 

We'll also be video streaming live at http://wwoz.org/livevideo.
