Bix Beiderbecke House
I’m excited to be part of a group of seven musicians who have recently purchased 1920s jazz legend Bix Beiderbecke’s family home in Davenport, IA. Badly in need of restoration, we are working to preserve this historic landmark and create a vehicle to share Bix’s music and the music of the 1920s for future generations!
