The Alluvion is excited to continue bringing unique and high level jazz musicians to Traverse City. Chicago's own HeyMan is led by saxophonist/composer Michael Hudson-Casanova who played The Alluivion last summer with his quartet. His new group HeyMan is embarking on a new album release tour this summer, and we are lucky enough to have them on our stage.

HeyMan explores a vast sonic territory of jazz and improvised music. This is a band of innovative improvisers who are all accomplished individuals and long-time musical partners.
