2023 was a huge year for Evil Clown.

The Evil Clown Headquarters studio renovations were complete enough to start Livestreaming sessions in January and finalized a few months later. All the ECH sessions from 2023 were broadcast from the new space.

The tool I had been using to build the Evil Clown website since 2015 finally expired and I was forced to rebuild the site from scratch. It took hundreds of PEK hours to accomplish, but the new site is better in every way, so the effort was worth it. As of this writing (12/31/2023) there is more to do, but the navigation shell is completely in place along with all of the album pages and bios.

We released 37 albums by 9 ensembles. Most were YouTube Livestreams from ECH, but we did a few live performances at the Lilypad in Cambridge MA and at John Loggia’s 118 Elliot Street Gallery in Brattleboro VT. I have enjoyed the live shows, but am happy with the balance where most of the performances are livestreams, since I don’t have to haul equipment to present the broad palate improvisation concept nearly so often.

Also included below are videos from a few Non-Evil Clown sessions that I did with John Loggia and Dennis Warren.

We have established huge momentum coming out of the pandemic and I expect 2024 to continue to be equally productive. Stay Tuned.
