Michael Lewis, J.T. Bates and Adam Linz started playing jazz together as kids and, in 2000, began performing as the trio Fat Kid Wednesdays every Monday night in the basement “Clown Lounge” of the Turf Club. Those late-night Monday sessions are still going strong, despite success and commitments in other musical avenues for all three musicians (Lewis is the saxophonist in Happy Apple). Fat Kid Wednesday also brings other jazz artists into the mix and recently began curating Tuesday nights there. 3-Minute Egg dropped in to find out why Fat Kid Wednesday are still motivated to spend their Monday nights in the Clown Lounge.
