James McKain, Damon Smith, and Weasel Walter at the Sugar Maple in Milwaukee on August 3, 2025

James McKain, Damon Smith and Weasel Walter performed two short but energetic sets at the Sugar Maple in Milwaukee earlier this month. The music was freely improvised with all three musicians in rapt concentration and reacting in complex ways to each other's sounds.
