Austin: SXSW

Topic: Austin: SXSW

We arrived at the hotel around 8pm.

Cindy Cashdollar suggested Evita's Botanita Restaurant for supper, and
it was good! It's not Tex-Mex; rather, it's real Mexican, which is
quite different.

After dinner, we passed by Bill Giebitz's house to drop off 2 of my
guitars. He said he'd have them done fairly quickly, so I'll drop off
the dreadnaught tomorrow.

I Twittered the entire way here, and I'm still try to figure it out.
I got Facebook with no problem, and I did overcome the problems with
Blogging. I'm just not sure what the hell Twitter is. I've been
Tweeting left and right; I just haven't figured out what can be done
with it.

Oh, well, I'm tired. I'm glad we came in the night before. I'm sure
we would have been extremely tired if we had done the trip in one day.

The Kate, Old Saybrook, CT, 2/11/18

We played the Kate on a very wet Sunday night. It was our third appearance there and as always, the audience was great and so were the staff.   We played a fairly well-rounded set list, mainly to listeners, as there isn’t much room at the Kate to dance.  It was a good show, and afterwards we sold and signed CDs.  It’s always great to see our fans. I hope it’s not 4 more years until we play there again!

FitzGerald’s American Music Festival, Berwyn, IL

Date: July 2, 2009 11:59 AM Topic: FitzGerald's American Music Festival, Berwyn, IL It's amazing how Fitzgerald can alter his club to accommodate an event with so much entertainment and yet keep the Fitzgerald's feel. The groups that played were amazing, from Bill Kirchen to Marcia Ball, and of course BeauSoleil. Since we had flown in on the day of the first show, July 1, we were a bit tired but played very well inside the club stage. On Thursday, after getting rest, we played the outdoor stage and really kicked it up. Points to note for this trip, and more specifically O'Hare airport: Continental has moved its gates to the United Terminal, in anticipation of the Star Alliance merger later this year. No more Northwest and Delta!

2023 and BeauSoleil

We all made it through COVID, thank God.  We are all looking forward to a new year with great adventures.  We do have two upcoming shows in December: in New Orleans on 12/8, at the Lafitte Greenway and at the Hideaway Dance Hall on 12/11.
