BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet

Our first appearance at Le Poisson Rouge was to celebrate Roswell Rudd's 80th birthday.  There were 4 or 5 other acts, so the bill was full. BeauSoleil closed out the show, with Roswell joining in on several numbers.  Happy Birthday, Roz! We hope to play his next one too. 

This was our first appearance at Mexicali Live. It's a nice club with a great staff.  After an opening act, we played for a fairly full house. We do hope to return soon. Nice venue!

The band played Friday the thirteenth at the Sellersville Theatre. Usually we play for a large dancing crowd but on this date there were more listeners.  As usual we were treated quite well by the staff, and the dinner from The Washington House was very good. 

It was our first appearance at the Opera House. It's a very nice venue in a very historic town.  David was the opener, along with Jon Bertrand of the Pine Leaf Boys.  BeauSoleil played a 90 minute set, beginning with a tribute to Alien Toussaint, who died earlier this week.  It was a fun show with attentive fans. We hope to return to Shepherdstown in the future. 

The band had never played at Fort Lewis Community College before, though we have indeed played in Durango several times over the course of our traveling career. The theatre personnel were very accomadating and even had a tv out so we could watch the LSU-Alabama football game. The crowd was very enthusiastic and danced from the first number on.   It's always great to play in Durango, and we hope we'll be back soon.

Daniel's Hall at Swallow Hill is in the SE part of Denver.  We had never performed there before and we had a really good time in front of an almost sell-out crowd.   The theatre is actually an old chuch, and it's also a community center, primarily teaching folk music and the like. The area is very nice around the theatre, and we ate at a very good Italian place across the street.  We hope to return to Daniel's Hall soon.

It was our first appearance in Loveland, CO and at the Rialto on 11/5/15. The Rialto Theatre is operated by the city of Loveland and it's in the historic downtown area.  The renovation is very nice and the amenities to the theatre are very tasteful and well done. The band had a good time at the show - and we were joined by Colin Gould on accordion for a song.  Colin is the son of the photographer Phillip Gould, from Lafayette.  We look forward to our next appeance at the Rialto.  The staff was wonderful and we were treated so very nicely!
