Jeff Parker solo at Cactus Club in Milwaukee on December 4, 2021

A few months back we shared Jeff Parker's performance in Chicago from December 2021 at Thalia Hall -- now we present his performance a few days later at the Cactus Club. At the time he was on a national tour with Steve Gunn.

I was fortunate to be present in Chicago in the mid-1990s when Jeff began to appear live in venues such as the Velvet Lounge and Lunar Cabaret. From the very beginning I was impressed with his guitar tone and tasteful solos. This show was a rare opportunity for folks to hear Jeff in a solo context.

Much thanks to my fellow taper Randy Bayers for his assistance with tracking and identifying the setlist.
