Last night they kicked off another two week tour in support of the disc with the addition of Peter Tomshany on electric guitar.
Tonight Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey heads to Manchester, CT for a gig at the The Main Bar. Next, they head to Fall River on Thursday before playing a show billed as a “My Morning Jacket Late Night After Party” at Sullivan Hall on Friday night.
