Come join us on Tuesday, May 14th for a LIVE Jazz broadcast on WDCB Radio! 

The Chad McCullough Quintet will be performing "A Tribute to Miles Davis" in the Lounge at Skeleton Key and WDCB will be broadcasting it over the airwaves on 90.9FM from 7 to 8pm, with an additional set of music from 8:15 to 9pm.

Taproom will open at 5pm with food available for purchase from our friends at Burn N' Bull!

While this show is free to attend, there is only VERY limited standing room available in the Lounge on a first-come, first-served basis. You can, however, reserve seating for this one-time event for $12 per person (full tables available, too!), and you can choose where you want to sit when you reserve your seats in advance.

Please note: this event is 21+, and seating for the broadcast will begin at 6:15pm. We ask that guests arrive on time and be respectful of the show as we will be broadcasting LIVE over the radio!

(Musician Description)

Heralded for his “solos of mercurial poetry and high craft.” (Chicago Tribune) Chicago-based trumpeter/composer Chad McCullough is active throughout the world. Dan McClenaghan writes, “He is a rare instrumentalist who makes each note sound as if it were imbued with a deeper meaning. Certainly a player with great chops, his approach is one that is measured and deliberate, often introspective, sometimes gorgeously melancholic, and one that employs a continuity of mood and atmosphere …”

His latest album, The Charm of Impossibilities was released in the Fall of 2023, on the Chicago-based Calligram Records. He is also a member of international collaboration Atlantic Road Trip and works frequently with Belgian pianist Bram Weijters.

His bands have performed at many festivals, including the Festival of New Trumpet Music (New York), the GG Jazz Festival (Russia), Chicago Jazz Festival, The Earshot Jazz Festival, Halifax Jazz Festival, and The Appeltuin Jazz Festival. His albums have been released internationally on Origin Records, Calligram Records, ears&eyes records, Monks and Thieves, and Shifting Paradigm. He’s a frequent collaborator with many musicians/ensembles, including groups with Matt Ulery, Neal Alger, Dana Hall, Ryan Shultz, Luke Malewicz, James Davis, Rob Clearfield, and Tim Hagans and has performed with Maria Schneider, Miguel Zenon, Stafford James, Michael Shrieve, Avishai Cohen, Kendrick Scott, Claudio Roditi, Chad Lefkowitz-Brown, Charles Tolliver, Ambrose Akinmuserie, Steve Coleman, Dave Douglas, and many more.

Chad is currently on the jazz faculty at DePaul University and the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and plays custom AR Resonance mouthpieces and trumpets, and a Hub Van Laar flugelhorn.
