JULY! Here's where to find me this month! Kicking off the month at one of my favorite spots to play solo, The Red Door in LaPorte from 6-8. I'll see y'all out there!

"Socialism has never worked." Motherfucker, capitalism has produced school lunch debt, bankruptcy from life-saving medical procedures, and for-profit prisons. Capitalism isn't working.

Welp, first time a venue has used AI to make a flyer for me this shit sucks who the fuck is that guy in the background

TONIGHT! Joining my pal Stephan Jude at C Bar in Four Winds Casinos South Bend for some picking from 8-Midnight (Eastern) TOMORROW: Going it alone at Bennetts Pub & Play in Lowell, IN from 7-10 See y'all out there!

People gotta stop using "America-hating" like it's some kind of insult instead of, you know, a perfectly reasonable position to have.

More often than not, I'm just playing to the chairs

2nd gig of the day! 10-56 Brewing in Knox, IN 5:30-8:30. But first I'm gonna put a dent in their buffalo chicken pizza.

Ok here me out, a Hank Williams tribute band that plays in a Texas Tornados style. Hank Señor Someone can have that one.

First stop today: Four Corners Winery in Valparaiso, IN from 12-3 Later: 10-56 Brewing in Knox, IN from 5:30-8:30

My thinking with festivals is always "I'll go when I'm booked." But I reckon I might just have to go to Laurel Cove one of these years and stop holding my breath

Here's where to find me this month! Working on adding more dates.

Got a fun weekend of tunes ahead with my brother Stephan Jude! TONIGHT: Bugaboo's in Cedar Lake, IN from 8-11 TOMORROW: Burn 'Em Brewing in Michigan City, IN from Noon-3 Come join us if you can!

Pssst. Over the past couple months, I've been putting up live videos from the South of Mars release show on my Patreon! If you wanna see the full Big Breakfast playing your favorite tune from the album, as little as $5 gets you access! It was one of the best nights of my life. patreon.com/jamesgedda

I can only assume if you're not drinking Burn Em Brewing beers with me, you're drinking them against me. Playing noon-3 today!

The rhythm of this job is weird. A busy month this month means a more stable month next month. But being busy with gigs impacts my energy levels to do the booking etc which usually leads to less gigs next couple months. Throw a cancellation in and the whole balance is fucked.

Hey, friends. Unfortunately, I won't be able to perform at On The Rocks in Waukegan today as cold winds have made it miserable out there and my performance has been cancelled. I'll keep you posted on a make up date!

"The days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, I have really good days." Today feels like a good day. TODAY: August Hill Winery in Utica, IL 3:30-6:30 TOMORROW: On The Rocks in Waukegan, IL 3-6 I'll see y'all out there!

CHICAGO FRIENDS! Bringing The Big Breakfast back to Broken Hearts for some honky tonkin! Doors at 9, music at 10, $5 to get in!

It's easy to make cracks about Charley Crockett's release pace, but I'm sitting on 3 different album ideas and no money to make em happen. Still haven't fulfilled all the fundraiser promises from SoM. If I had his checkbook and fanbase, I'd be putting out two records a year too.

FRIDAY! Bringing The Big Breakfast back to Broken Hearts for a night of honky tonkin! This is a great bar and we always have a hell of a time, so make plans to come join us in Chicago!

CHICAGO FRIENDS! Gonna be hanging out and picking songs at Fuller's Pub from 6-8. Come join me!

I spend too much time playing video games, so I'm sure all this says something about me. Fill your own here: grids.fun/t/about-me-v...

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, friends. It's hard to be a curmudgeon when you're surrounded by the amount of love that I am.

TONIGHT! Birthday show at EAT with The Big Breakfast backing me up! Doors at 6, ofsunshinemusic kicks things off at 7, $10 at the door! See y'all there!

This little fella turns 37 this weekend, and he'd love for you to come out to his BIRTHDAY SHOW Saturday night at EAT in Hammond! Doors at 6, Of Sunshine opens at 7, $10 to get in!

SATURDAY! If you can get yourself to EAT in Hammond, IN, I expect you to be there as I stomp and holler into the night with my friends on the eve of my 37th birthday!

This is a dark thought, but I wouldn't put it past someone as stupid, selfish, narcissistic, and evil as him to try and bring about the end of the world as he faces his own impending mortality.

Happy to be headed back to Tiki Man Radio tonight to talk about the Big Breakfast birthday show at EAT this saturday! Tune in at 6pm at tikimanradio.com

Making a setlist and notes for a new/substitute band member is fun cause it gets me thinking about such intricate details of songs as "What key do I play this in?" and "Am I capable of counting this off?"

We're ONE WEEK AWAY from our show at EAT, on the eve of my 37th birthday! Make plans to come party with us!

It is for no particular reason on this day in which I find myself working on my taxes that I kindly point y'all to patreon.com/jamesgedda, jamesgedda.bandcamp.com, and my Venmo: James-Gedda

APRIL! Here's where to find me this month. TONIGHT: The Red Door in LaPorte, IN 6-8 TOMORROW: The Book Club in Crown Point, IN w/ Jack Whittle 6-9 Be sure to mark your calendars for 4/11, where we'll be doing another Big Breakfast show at EAT in Hammond, IN!

James Gedda and Jack Whittle do Kris Kristofferson.

A bit of Kris Kristofferson's "Casey's Last Ride" w/ Jack Whittle. Catch us TONIGHT at Finnegan's Pub in Dyer, IN from 8-10! youtu.be/gGSAhwJgd60

I was wondering why I'm feeling so shitty today, then I remembered my birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Plus this year the birthday depression is combining with the pressure of promoting a paid attendance show the night before. Gonna be a hell of a few weeks for ol' James.

SW Michigan friends! Headed to Casey's New Buffalo tonight alongside my brother Stephan Jude on violin. Come join us if you can!

My guitar player knows it doesn't take much to get me riffing.

A friend of mine (who's an incredible writer) had a line "We'll dream of the days where we dreamed of the days that we're in." It's a line I think of pretty often to help keep things in perspective.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, friends! Here's "The Fields of Athenry," one of my favorites to play this time of year. WEDNESDAY: Songwriter Night at Smokey Jo's in Crete, IL SATURDAY: Casey's in New Buffalo, MI w/ Stephan Jude youtu.be/BKwPYZQo-Ic

Had a great time doing some picking out at Navy Pier today! Brought my better half along too! @awkwrdunicorn.bsky.social

TONIGHT! KnuckleHeads in Michigan City, IN with The Big Breakfast!

Perhaps the weirdest thing that sets off my social anxiety in a big way is occupying the pec deck machine at the gym because at all times you know there's at least half a dozen folks waiting for it to free up.

The next Big Breakfast show is on the books! 4/11, the night before my birthday, we're doing another show at EAT in Hammond! Save the date and make plans to join us if you can!

It's Bandcamp Friday! To celebrate, I've released Songs & Stories, a live solo EP from a show at The Chicago Street Theatre in Valparaiso, IN and it's only available on Bandcamp! Produced by Nick Rapley, this is one of my favorite solo shows I ever played. jamesgedda.bandcamp.com

Keep your eyes peeled on my Bandcamp page, got something special in store for Bandcamp Friday tomorrow. jamesgedda.bandcamp.com

This week's music! TONIGHT: The Red Door - Laporte, IN 6-8 FRIDAY: Tiny's Coffee Bar - Gary, IN 6-9 SATURDAY: Social Goat w/ Stephan Jude - Portage, IN 7-10 SUNDAY: Four Corners Winery - Valparaiso, IN 1-4 P.S. Stay tuned on Friday for something special...

MARCH! Here's where to find me! That starts TODAY at Solasta Winery in Sawyer, MI from 2-4. See ya there!

Wishing a very happy birthday to my partner, my support system, my better half, my inspiration and the love of my life, my sweet and beautiful Marissa Ann! You deserve all the happiness in the world and I'll do all I can to bring you as much of it as possible @awkwrdunicorn.bsky.social

Bandcamp Friday next week. Hmmm. Ought to do something fun for that.

Wish you could've been at the South of Mars release show back in November? Head over to my Patreon (link in profile) where I've just released a video and a track of "Black Coffee, Brown Liquor" from 11/22/25 at EAT in Hammond, IN. More from this show coming to Patreon!
