John Medeski’s Mad Skillet At Thunderbird Café & Music Hall, Lawrenceville (new Venue), Joined by the Steeltown Horns

Mad Skillet was born of a late night show in New Orleans, LA during Jazz Fest 2015. It came out kicking and screaming, laughing and wailing, laying down a deep New Orleans groove steeped in jazz, blues, psychedelic rock, and R&B.
