Woodbridge Brewing Co.Jed Harrelson and Jerron Paxton and more
At Parker Press Park, a co-bill brings together Nashville-based soul artist Jed Harrelson and the duo of Jerron Paxton with Dennis Lichtman. Harrelson blends soul, rock, and R&B into songs centered on connection, creating a sound that feels both uplifting and familiar. He has independently released 15 songs in the past three years and is currently developing his debut project, recording at home with his brother Hank as engineer. Raised in Texarkana, Arkansas, he refined his craft in Fayetteville before relocating to Nashville in January 2020, and he now tours the country with his band in a gold van nicknamed The Loaf. Paxton and Lichtman are internationally recognized multi-instrumentalists and vocalists whose partnership began with a 2017 video project at the Louis Armstrong House Museum. They have toured throughout the United States and abroad together since 2019, recently released their first full-length duo album, and served as Artists-In-Residence at Symphony Space in New York for the 2024 to 2025 season. Paxton, a Smithsonian Folkways recording artist, shares a wide range of Black folk traditions, from stride piano shaped by New Orleans and New York, to deep blues on guitar and harmonica, to early rural fiddle and banjo music, ragtime, and other turn-of-the-century styles, inviting listeners to absorb this heritage as part of a long American story. Lichtman is a globe-traveling bandleader and a master of clarinet, mandolin, violin, and more. He has led the long-running traditional jazz sessions at Mona’s Bar in New York City since 2007, noted by the Wall Street Journal as a focal point for a rising late-night community of swing and trad jazz players. His credits include work with David Byrne, The Lovestruck Balladeers, Pokey LaFarge, Ghost Train Orchestra, Jim Kweskin, and his own groups The Brain Cloud and Mona’s Hot Four, along with his all-original release Secret Workshop.
