About Church On Monday
Austin jazz group known as Church on Monday was originally formed by Elias Haslanger in the fall of 2011 for Elias's 5th recording as a leader. Church on Monday was the name of an original composition Elias wrote for that session, which then became the title track for his new recording. After a successful release, spending 11 weeks on the JazzWeek charts and positive reviews in publications like Downbeat and Jazz Times, Elias secured a residency at Austin's famous Continental Club Gallery.

Now 12 1/2 years later, the name of the song and the name of the recording has turned into the name of the band, and the name of one of Austin's longest running and most beloved live music residencies. People line up outside the club every Monday starting at 8pm to catch Church on Monday and their electric set of jazz, blues, ballads, groove, swing and more.

Church on Monday is Elias Haslanger on tenor saxophone, Tommy Howard on guitar, Daniel Dufour on drums, Sam Pankey on bass and Terry Bowness on organ. Each an accomplished artist on their respective instrument, they come together every Monday from 8:30-10pm to play one set of music to a faithful following of jazz fans.

Recipients of 5 Austin Music Awards, Church on Monday has played to crowds at ACL-Live at The Moody Theater, across the state of Texas at festivals and concerts and across Austin in clubs like The Continental Club Gallery, The Elephant Room and Parker Jazz Club. They've released 3 critically acclaimed recordings, all of which have received international airplay and positive reviews from publications across the globe.

Dedicated to the memory and legacy of the great Dr. James Polk.  Church On Monday performs at The Continental Club Gallery every Monday night 8:30 pm -10:00pm.
