Going home

Tour is done, officially over.

The Lyric Theatre was a nice venue, well attended. Scott Fore was there and showed us the DPA mics he's been raving about since the NAMM show in January. We ate at a nice vegetarian restaurant and ran into fans, as well as Arlo Gutherie's daughter Sara.

We left the hotel at 9:30 this morning. No one was late!

It was a beautiful drive over the mountains from Blacksburg to Greensboro. It took 2.5 hours. We were at the GSO AP right at 12:30.

After checking in, the band had lunch and beers at the airport.

All flights today seem to be ontime. Now looking forward to the promotional appearances and then the West Coast trip at the end of the month.

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!
