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.

2023 and BeauSoleil

We all made it through COVID, thank God.  We are all looking forward to a new year with great adventures.  We do have two upcoming shows in December: in New Orleans on 12/8, at the Lafitte Greenway and at the Hideaway Dance Hall on 12/11. 

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.

Earlville Opera House, Earlville, NY 8/21/15

The Earlville Opera House was another first for the band. This venue is a historic opera house from days gone by.  There were band photos from past groups, and it was nice to see Mitch's old group Charvari had played there in 1995 or so.  The audience was great and danced around the room.  We hope to return again soon!
