To Boston

Northern Lights Theatre @ Potowtomi Casino was packed! We took the stage at 8 and played to 9:30. After us was Trombone Shorty, New Orleans funk to the wall.

We were treated well and we played well. I was pooped by the time we got back to the hotel.

Today's a travel day: to Boston & LaQuinta for tonight.

It looks like the weather will be moderating, which will be welcomed by all of us. Getting tired of subfreezing temps!

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!
