The MicroTime Tour lands on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on Friday, June 19th at 8pm at The Triad. This show will highlight charismatic electric Delta blues act Willie McBlind in the release of its eagerly awaited second CD, Bad Thing, with 13 O'Clock Blues Band capping off the evening.

At the helm of 13 O'Clock Blues Band, Jon Catler has received a grant from Meet The Composer's Creative Connections to present his work in all 3 cities, giving the audience the opportunity to glimpse inside Catler's progressive ideas on Harmonic Rhythm.
