The Dangling Prussian house band!

 If you're doing a night out at the clubs, sometimes you just want to sit back with a drink and chill.

And with six hours of Zoom hangout planned for the Dangling Prussian Pub Night planned, we are lucky enough to have the musical talents of Josh Harvey providing some Sherlock Holmes based jazz that is very, very cool. 

Josh, a music director and instructor of musical theater at Southeast Missouri State in his non-Holmes life, has some great Sherlockian credits. He's presented at 221B Con, is the archivist for the Patrick Gowers scores for Granada Holmes, and is very close to putting out a website on "the side door of music," which will deal with Canonical and adaptation Holmesian musics. He's definitely a Sherlockian to watch, and I am very excited that we'll be seeing him play at the Dangling Prussian.

Can a pub's "house band" be a solo performer? Well, you're going to see that it's very possible, as he mellows out the night with such riffs as "Only Adlers in this Building," "Sweet Elsie Patrick," and a personal favorite of mine, "Ronaldo's Hideaway." ("Ronaldo" as in "Ronald-o Howard," since you'll find this jazz ties to some very familiar melodies.)  And as the night gets darker and later, you might even find a musical Moriarty tribute in the mix which might make you want to take the professor home with you at closing time. (There really is a Moriarty out there for everyone. Be careful!)

It's this Friday night (January 14) six to midnight Eastern, and that's just part of what's in store.
