“And you’re all like is this is a food event? Is this music? Is this stop motion animation with poetry and music?

Yes. Yes. And yes. And I’m so grateful to share the stage with J. Mix and Pat Smith who together, make up the dynamic duo PB and J at Saturn Bar on Tuesday, September 8th for an early show.

And to be honest, I’m usually eyeballing it, so each cobbler is its own universe, but basically whatever fruit is in season, cinnamon, cayenne, lemon, sugar, flour, butter, nutmeg, and salt and you’ve got yourself a party. It’s kinda like strawberry rhubarb pie vibe, but without the rhubarb cause fresh rhubarb in this climate? Down here, that’s not a thing.

Also, I have never made a strawberry rhubarb pie, and since the concept is new to me, I’m a bit hesitant.

And you may have never seen a show like this. It may be new to you, but please don’t be hesitant on that ticket link because I kinda need to know how much cobbler to make.

So mark your calendars and hit that link big dawg.

Get in motherfucker. We’re sharing art about our feelings and eating cobbler at Saturn Bar.” - Jonathan

The Living Room is a near-weekly Songwriter Showcase at Skeeta Hawk Brewing on Friday evenings, hosted by Paul Faith.

Paul Faith rounded up 20 of his (and your) favorite songwriters to create brand new protest songs for a compilation album- join them at a Release Benefit Show at Chickie Wah Wah on America's Birthday, the 4th of July.

Early in 2026, Paul had an idea he couldn't get out of his head: to prompt his friends and fellow songwriters to write and record new, original protest songs for a compilation album. Their response was overwhelming and inspiring. Together, they made an album of protest songs that run the entire gamut: songs of anger and songs of unity, laments and calls to action, rockers and stripped back roots numbers. Paul and 15 of the artists invite you to join them on Independence Day at Chickie Wah Wah at 7pm to join your voice with theirs- pre-sale tickets are $20. All proceeds from the show will go to ISLA: Immigration Services and Legal Advocacy, who provides free legal services to people in immigration detention, children, and their families. The show will feature songs from Dusky Waters, Burris, Ever More Nest, Basch Jernigan, and many, many more - with a stellar backing band to support them all throughout the evening.  
 

Water Seed's music is a fusion of funk, rock, hip hop and jazz, which they have coined as ‘Future Funk’ Their sound is characterized by tight, intricate grooves, soaring melodies, and powerful vocals, all driven by a relentless energy that never fails to get audiences up and dancing.

PB&J is a detectable musical duo made up of singer-songwriter connoisseurs J.Mix and Pat Smith. Known for his rhythmic piano style and clever lyrics, Pat brings a sound that’s uniquely his own. He’s joined by the multitalented J.Mix, a respected figure in the New Orleans arts scene, whose dreamy vocals and ethereal harmonies add richness to their collaboration. Their journey began with the catchy holiday tune "Santa Don’t Want Your Cookies," followed by the heartfelt "Beauty of Life" on Pat’s debut album. What started as a one-off project quickly turned into a  colorful partnership. The name PB&J perfectly captures their chemistry: nostalgic, comforting, and surprisingly fresh. Just like the sandwich, it’s a blend that feels both familiar and indubitably satisfying.
