Jazz Fest

Topic: Jazz Fest

It's been a busy few days since returning to Louisiana from Knoxville.

The band arrived on Thursday night, flying from Nashville to MSY.

On Friday, we all met up at the Acura Stage for our 12:30 set. Then
we had to sign the Grammy winning CD at the NOJAZZFEST tent.

Then we set up and sound checked at Southport Music Hall. We were the
opener for the subdudes that night. That show went OK and we sold
several CDs.

On Saturday morning, we had a 10:30 set at CC's Coffee House on
Esplanade. We sold several more CDs there and played for about 50
minutes.

Saturday night we played at the Howlin Wolf in Mandeville for a crowd
of about 15 or 20.

Sunday we were rained out at Fest For All in Baton Rouge.

The end of the tour! It's good to be back home and getting some much
needed rest.

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.
