Jazz in the UK
I am tickled to announce that I am on the roster for the Brecon Jazz Festival! This annual jazz festival is held in Brecon, Wales (yes, I had to look on the map too), some 175 miles west of London and a little more than 30 miles north of Cardiff. This festival has been around since 1984 and has continued to introduce audiences to artists from all over the world! One of my shows will be at The Castle, the oldest hotel in Wales. I am excited to see this beautiful land, meet the festival's devoted organizers, and develop more musical friendships. You can find out more about the festival and support their work and vision at www.breconjazz.org

Patreon
I met with Patreon supporters in July for our monthly zoom chat. It was was fun to see faces and share some upcoming projects. If you would like to learn about becoming a Patreon supporter visit patreon.com/lavonhardison

What I'm reading /watching
I have been completely seduced by the fun fantasy world of author T. Kingfisher:  The Wonder Engine and Clockwork Boys. A fantastical world of magic and technology and unheroic like heroes. Fun mind candy

Upcoming shows
I'm spending time getting ready for Brecon, but I do have a few shows coming up:
July 31 @ Brother Don's in Bremerton
Aug. 2 @ Berryfest at Pacific Lutheran University in Parkland
Aug. 11 @ Castle Hotel, Brecon Jazz Festival
Aug. 13 @ Theatr Brycheiniog, Brecon Jazz Festival

Enjoy the sun and the berries and whatever else summer is bringing you, and stay fabulous!
