We arrived at Phoenix from Albuquerque on Wednesday and drove straight to Tucson. That night Jeb and Paul (the promoters) took some of us out to eat at El Churro, which was very good.

On Thursday Jimmy, Mitch, Michael and I did a radio show at KXCI
before the sound check. Nice station! 

After sound check, we ate at El Indita, another very good restaurant.

David Lindley opened the set, playing a different instrument for every
song. He is amazing. Then we took the stage around 9:30 and played
for an hour and fifteen.

Today we're going to Chandler, AZ for the Chandler Jazz Festival. The
hard part of the tour is beginning....

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.
