Nissi's & St Julien

Seems like we keep greeting each other with "How is your summer?"
Yes I know, nights are cool. The sun is well on the way south.

Busy activity of summer seems to continue into the new season, anyway.
More performances, recording plans, travel plans, teaching, writing collaboration...
everything is swirling around and taking shape.

Dexter Payne Quartet is playing Brazilian music at Nissi's for the first time on Sunday.
No cover! Enjoy the intimate room, great sound and good eats.

Tuesday again at the St Julien. Last time there we played a really exciting set.

Life these days is pretty hectic and full for everyone. It is so wonderful to see those familiar faces,
I am grateful and filled with joy when you choose music for a couple of hours. The frequency with
which we can bring our music to venues like both of the above correlates directly with how we are
supported and received. Please come out and let the managment know you appreciate having us there!

Rain Dance

 Music this week goes out to everyone who ever lost their home, even temporarily.

Today, Thursday, we resume the monthly celebration known as Bateria Alegria - a samba parade in Boulder at 7:30pm down Pearl St Mall from Broadway to the Laughing Goat, followed by singing and dancing with Ginga Grande at 8 or so. Let this be a rain dance for relief from the fires!

Saturday is 9-11, time for the third annual Kailin Yong Peace Concert at Broomfield Auditorium, 7:30 pm. Cannot say enough about this inspiring original music and the great players the amazing Kailin has drawn together: Bret Bowen, Carl Dixon, Jesse Manno, Jeff Jenkins. Yes, Ill be there too! Let's all take some time this day to imagine a world where peace is really possible. Come to Broomfield, and imagine with us!

Sunday is the final round of competition for the band to represent Colorado at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis next February. Outlook Hotel, Bldr, 3-6pm. I go on with the Lionel Young Band at 4:40pm.

A big thanks to those who came out to the St Julien Tues for the Dexter Payne Quartet, a small but very appreciative audience. We loved playing for you! Not to mention the exotic sighting later in the evening!

And a shout to the impressive Liza Oxnard and the great players in her band, Ryan Tracy, Dechen Hawk, Chris Engleman and Brian McRae, for a great couple of nights way over yonder in Telluride and Durango.

See you soon,
Dexter
