In January 2021 Jude began work on his second novel which was based on a 2008 album titled, Circo de Teatro. The album had garnered critical praise around the world and its fascinating circus theme, which included lots of weird and wonderful misfit characters, just lent itself to a more full-blown story. The finished book follows many of those original character’s lives and really tries to encapsulate the community and family that a life in the circus can provide.

Tonight he’ll be interspersing acoustic renditions of these songs with readings from the book.
