Smthsonian Folklife Festival

Topic: Smthsonian Folklife Festival

It was only a quintet that performed at the Concert put on for the
retiring Folklife director Diana Parker.

The Folklife Festival this year featured Hispanic America and Wales,
an interesting combination.

As usual for the Folklife Fest, all the performers were housed at the
Key Bridge Marriott. There were the usual evening jam sessions, this
year taken over by the Hispanic groups. The music was really good.

After the special concert, there was a reception for Diana at the hotel.

The whole event was to be a surprise for her, and even though she did
find out about all the special events, she sure was surprised by it all.

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.
