Jed sings a song AND sings backup vocals with Losers Lounge! It’s Steely Dan vs Doobie Brothers on February 2,3 and 4 at Joes Pub in the borough of Manhattan.
Michael McDonald holds everything together
Nina and Jed made The New York Magazine Approval Matrix! About 60% of the way on the continuum between Despicable and Brilliant, and 25% of the way between Lowbrow and Highbrow. Not sure what any of this means.
See Nina Persson sing the Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush duet "Don’t Give Up" with Jed. Notice how much Jed does not look like a lovely petite Swedish woman. Or any woman (see photo below). See many of Jed’s cohorts from Citizens Band and Losers Lounge. It will be a great night.

This will finish up a grueling Northeast tour that begins 8 days earlier at Bowery Electric with the wonderful Ward White who plays just before Boston’s wonderful John Powhida. This show opens at 8pm with the wonderfully named Tad Overbaugh. Come celebrate the birthday of trumpeter Les Elgart, who was born on this date in New Haven, Connecticut, the year of 1917. Celebrating with New Haven-born Jedediah Parish will be John Powhida, Ward White and Tad Overbaugh. J-Po was born in Plattsburgh NY.
Like the lady sang, “It Seems Like A Mighty Long Time (shoo bop shoo bop my baby)” *. A long time since Jed played his own songs in New York City, or much of anywhere for that matter. And it seems that way because it’s true. No more.
