McCabe's with Richard Thompson and the Musical Instrument Museum


After Gator by the Bay, we played at McCabe's in Santa Monica.  The show was a lot of fun, as usual.  Richard Thompson was in the crowd and played a couple tunes with us, Conga and Bamiko.  It's always a pleasure to play music with Richard!

We flew to Phoenix on Saturday and played Sunday at the Musical Instrument Museum on Mother's Day. This is an amazing place: instruments from around the world all in one place.  The first time we played here we toured the museum.  After an hour and a half, we had to leave for the hotel but didn't make the complete tour of the instruments.  

The show was sold out, and we were treated very well by the staff and the patrons.  We also played a song, Je veux marier, acoustically, which the audience really liked.

Now we're heading home.  Our next performance will be next Wednesday in Birmingham at the Work/Play Theatre.

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.
