KMC Sunday!

I am on the flight to Memphis, and so far so good! Everything's on time, and I'm hoping for an early arrival in New Orleans.

I'm also hoping that parking in the area won't be too too difficult. Fingers are crossed!

I am so looking forward to this day. And tomorrow, too. Having a break in the long road trip should be energizing.

To date we played 5 dates, 4 radio shows, and have been on the road 8 days. The next leg starts up in Milwaukee with Trombone Shorty.

Then the hard part starts: 8 in a row, sort of, and a lot of driving.

We're also doing the John Schaefer show on WNYC next Monday. That'll be a long day, as we're driving into Manhattan from Quakertown, PA, about 3 hrs.

I don't know yet if there will be any other promotional appearances scheduled, but you never know. With AlliPurse, all stops are out: we're going full throttle after the Grammy win. That's the way you do it, in this industry.

Descending towards Memphis now.

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!

MIM- The Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix, AZ, 1/28/18

The MIM is a very special place: it’s like, in the words of Aaron Neville, the Louvre for musicians. It’s unbelievable how many instruments are collected there.   To perform at MIM is also a special deal.  The sound is really, really good, and the audiences are great.  All in all, bands are treated quite well there, and the after the show Meet and Greet with the audience is always rewarding. For someone who isn’t from the Phoenix area, it seems strange that the museum is so far out of town, but I’m told that it won’t be in the future.  The building is huge and well maintained, just like the instruments inside. We met people from Breaux Bridge and people who have been to Louisiana many times.  We also met people who have tried for years to hear the banned and were able.  I don’t think anyone was disappointed.
