Heading home from SXSW

Yesterday was a long one.

I brought over the D-1 to Giebitz and picked up the OM-1. We talked a long time about Schetlers.

Then we had lunch at Artz and ran into Ray Benson and Peter Schasrtz. After that we went to the Convention Center to sign in for SXSW.

Then we left the hotel at 5:30 to load in at the Continental Club. You could tell that action was starting to happen: Hot Club of Cowtown was wrapping up a hot set.

Then we all piled up in one van and headed to Ranch 616 to have dinner with John Locgen, Rosebud's treat.

That done, we got back to the club and waited to set up and play.

The show went on as scheduled, and we played a hot 40 minute set. Afterwards I talked to Steve McCraary from Collings, Alex Rawls from Offbeat, Geoff Himes from the Washington Post, and Dave Hurshland from Bug Music.

We got back to the hotel at 12:30. It's 9:47 now and should be in Lafayette by 4pm

Long couple of days.

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!

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.
