FitzGerald’s American Music Festival, Berwyn, IL

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!

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]

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!

Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show, Cranston, RI, 2/10/18

We’ve played the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show many times. It’s put on by Church Wentworth, who also produces the Ninigret Park Labor Day Festival. It was the 26th year of the Mardi Gras show, and the place was rocking! We played a rousing dance set, and we were followed by Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, old friends and great musicians.
