Expect danger, glamour, absurdity, audience interaction, and the kind of underground performance art you don’t stumble across twice. If you’ve been waiting for a night that feels equal parts carnival fever dream, downtown cabaret, and outlaw theater — this is it.

Are you up to Jam with the best of Philly?

ARE YOU A MUSICIAN LOOKING TO JOIN THE JAM? RSVP FOR FREE ENTRY BELOW!

The last City Wide Sessions jam at Heritage Jazz in 2023 brought together a real mix of players—familiar faces, new voices, and the kind of easy collaboration that only happens when the room feels right. It’s the kind of night people still bring up.

Now, City Wide Sessions is returning—this time at Velvet Whip, with the possibility of becoming a monthly hang.

The idea is simple: create a consistent space where musicians across Philly can show up, sit in, experiment, and connect. A room that welcomes both seasoned players and newer artists, without pressure—just good energy and openness. It also creates a real opportunity for younger musicians to learn firsthand—playing alongside a high-quality house band, picking up the unspoken language of live performance in real time.

Nothing forced—just a good room, good people, and the music building from there.

Free entry. Community energy. Two ways to take the mic.

Join us for Tight 5 Comedy Open Mic hosted by Ebony Moore from 7–8:30PM, then keep the night going with Karaoke with Dr. Thunder from 9PM–Midnight. Come laugh, sing, meet people, support local talent, and help build the kind of creative community where everyone gets a turn.

COMICS! WE CAN RECORD YOUR SET AT REQUEST, BRING YOUR PHONE OR A USB!

ABOUT

ONLINE TICKETS $12 DOOR $15

Ian Ridenhour writes smart, piano-driven alternative rock music with pop sensibilities and a dark streak, or as Sav Buist of The Accidentals puts it: “like Jack White and Ben Folds had a baby.” Bolstered by his powerhouse band, Ian’s performances are, as the Mountain Xpress says, “dynamic, with hooky melodies, frenzied riffs, and kinetic, danceable energy.” As well as playing festivals across the southeast and headlining listening rooms in western North Carolina and New England, Ian has shared the stage with The Accidentals, BJ Leiderman, The Blind Boys of Alabama, and Third Eye Blind, among others. He’s been described by former music manager Bob Hinkle as “[…] a 21st century Billy Joel.” PopMatters says that Ian is “easily one of the more diverse piano-centered rock acts of modern times,” which is perhaps what jazz legend Jimmy Cobb meant when he said of Ian, “in a couple of minutes, he’s gonna be a monster.”

“The elevation of a vineyard is among the first issues to be discussed when tasting a wine for the first time. In short, mountain and hillside vineyards offer three critical advantages: more direct and concentrated sunlight, dramatic temperature shifts, and exceptional drainage. Match these three together, and the vines struggle to survive. Those who succeed -well, you know.”

TRIO OF 3M’S

The 3M Trio brings together saxophonist Brian Morris with one of Philadelphia jazz’s most compelling family rhythm sections: acclaimed bassist Mike Boone and his son, drummer Mekhi Boone.

Their connection reaches far beyond the bandstand. Mike has served as both father and musical mentor to Mekhi, while Mekhi has developed into a distinctive young artist in his own right. Together, their bass-and-drum interplay carries an instinctive understanding—responsive, adventurous, and rooted in years of shared music-making.

Joined by Brian Morris on saxophone, the trio delivers an intimate evening of deep grooves, spontaneous conversation, and multigenerational jazz chemistry.

Brian Morris brings a warm, expressive voice to The 3M Trio. His playing moves easily between lyrical melodies, soulful phrasing, and adventurous improvisation, giving each performance a sense of movement and conversation. Onstage, he responds closely to the rhythm section, allowing the music to develop naturally in the moment.

Mike Boone — Bass

Mike Boone is a respected Philadelphia bassist known for his deep sound, strong sense of swing, and decades of experience on the jazz scene. In The 3M Trio, he provides both the foundation and the pulse, shaping the music with authority, subtlety, and generosity. His connection with his son, drummer Mekhi Boone, gives the trio an especially intuitive rhythmic chemistry.

Mekhi Boone — Drums

Mekhi Boone brings energy, sensitivity, and a fresh musical voice to the trio. His drumming is dynamic without overpowering the music, balancing drive, detail, and responsiveness. Performing alongside his father, Mike Boone, adds another dimension to his playing—their shared history creates an unspoken understanding that makes the rhythm section feel fluid, spontaneous, and deeply connected.
