TN Shines, Knoxville, TN

The day started with the Blue Plate Special on WDVX in Knoxville.
This was a live broadcast both though the radio and on the internet.
This was a good show.

The DJ took us to lunch before we had to rush to the Bijou Theatre to
do a sound check for Jim Lauderdale's TN Shines radio show.

The band got a standing ovation after the short set, which means we
need to come back to Knoxville for a regular BeauSoleil show sometime
soon!

Tomorrow we fly home to New Orleans. Big weekend in SE La coming up!

Carpenter Center, Long Beach, CA, 9/26/9

Though it was a long day of travel, we had a good show at the Carpenter Center. Iris Dement opened the show and was well received. She played about 45 minutes and we played for about 75. Lots of fans were lined up afterwards for CD signings, and when it was all over and done with, we were just plain exhausted. Next up: Askenaz in Betkeley. [Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone]

MIM- The Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix, AZ, 1/28/18

The MIM is a very special place: it’s like, in the words of Aaron Neville, the Louvre for musicians. It’s unbelievable how many instruments are collected there.   To perform at MIM is also a special deal.  The sound is really, really good, and the audiences are great.  All in all, bands are treated quite well there, and the after the show Meet and Greet with the audience is always rewarding. For someone who isn’t from the Phoenix area, it seems strange that the museum is so far out of town, but I’m told that it won’t be in the future.  The building is huge and well maintained, just like the instruments inside. We met people from Breaux Bridge and people who have been to Louisiana many times.  We also met people who have tried for years to hear the banned and were able.  I don’t think anyone was disappointed.

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!
