PRETTY MAJOR Hosted by Jay Jurden
About This Event
PRETTY MAJOR, hosted by Jay Jurden at Union Hall, pairs his host-driven stand-up with short music sets by a rotating group including Alex, Belle, Conor, Grace, Michelle and Wally. In Union Hall’s close-listening room the musicians favor concise songcraft and direct vocal delivery over spectacle, matching Jurden’s measured, conversational hosting and the show’s quick shifts between comedy, music and community.
