BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet

We played two sets at the Lancaster Middle School for the Rappahannock Arts Foundation.  It was a matinee show which began at 3pm. Afterwards the band wound down at KC'S Crabs and Cues. We had beer and seafood. Then it was back to the hotel, The Rappahannock Inn, open since the 1880s.  It was all a great end to a good & short tour. Next show is at the Feed & Seed in Lafayette later this month. 

It was the first time for us playing at Black Rock because of conflicts with Wolftrap.  The Center houses a very nice stage venue. We played two sets to a full house. After the show we spent some time with fans in the lobby, signing CDs.  We hope to return to Black Rock. Very nice staff, too!

This was our second Carnegie Hall appearancee!  The first of course was the one in New York, where we played in 1986. The show was sold out at the Lewisburg Carnegie Hall, too, and the audience seemed to enjoy our show very much. We played a variety of our repetoire, ranging back to the early '80s to the most recent recordings. The venue was very nice, and the town itself was very old.  And we were treated very well by the staff, and the food was amazing! We hope to be asked to play again!

We played The Tin Pan on Thursday night to a pretty full house.  The club has been open since March, so obviously we've never played there before. It was great to be back in Richmond, though we found out that the Richmond Folk Festival was to start on Friday! The last time we played in town was at the FolK Festival when it was the National Folk Festival, probably in 2007 or 2008. The club was really nice, and the food was good, too.  We all recommend the beer (very tasty) and the Irish Nachos.
