Musicians Chris Klaxton and Mike Effenberger join forces to plumb the depths of the great American songbook of jazz standards, the lesser American songbook, spirituals, new standards, and the good and bad news of this post-tonal musical world. 

Covering musical giants from Bach to Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk to Black Sabbath, their music is both unexpected and superbly executed. Give them a listen on Bandcamp / Bandcamp or Spotify or Apple Music.

Tickets are general admission, table seating. The audience is limited to approximately 100 people. Get dinner downstairs at Brookline’s Finest, or bring take out or snacks from home. Beverage service of wine, beer, soda and water is provided with donation requested with proceeds benefitting the art, nature and events at the Andres Institute of Art. State Law does not permit us to allow outside wine and beer to be brought in.

Shows are upstairs in the Welcome Center, the former Big Bear Lodge. Elevator is available. Please take a few minutes to visit the Welcome Center downstairs to learn about the AIA sculpture park and annual symposium.

There are ten concerts in the 2025 Act I Season. Buy Concert Series tickets to more than one show for savings and to request reserved seating.
