2/11/10: Northern Lights Theatre, Milwaukee, WI

We played the Northern Lights Theatre with Alan Toussaint. We played this theatre last Mardi Gras with Trombone Shorty last year.

Alan's band is really tight and it was great to hear them.

We played a tight 50 minute set to an appreciative crowd, and we sold more merchandise than previous visits.

I decided to take part in some Mardi Gras, so I'm heading back to New Orleans. I'll meet up with the group tomorrow (Sunday) in Chicago.

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.

The Turning Point, Piermont, NY, 2/9/18

We played the Turning Point on Friday, 2/9.  If you’re not familiar with the place, it’s downstairs from a restaurant, housed in a rather small bar.  John McAvoy, the owner, is quite a character, and he always treats us great.  The place holds 78 max, and I believe there were 85 there! Some day I’d like to see what Piermont looks like in the daylight! We’ve never been able do that.   The audience was very receptive, no dancing allowed (no room), and we played a pretty good ‘sit down set.’ We look forward to our next appearance there!
