With eleven concerts on ten dates starting this Thursday, September 8 and ending the first week in December, the Fall 2016 series will feature local musicians plus homecoming visits from several St. Louis expats of note, including pianist Jay Oliver, multi-instrumentalist J.D. Parran, singer Jan Shapiro, and bassist Dan Loomis of The Wee Trio (pictured), who will be touring this fall in support of their fifth album Wee + 3.
