Belly Up

Topic: Belly Up

Belly Up in Solano Beach is a nice place. We were treated nicely, and
the crowd that was there was very enthusiastic. There were dancers
for every song. Playing on Mondays, from my experience, isn't always
easy, but I guess we got about 100 people there tonight.

Tomorrow's the long drive to Santa Cruz, about 7+ hours. I think the
weather is going to change, probably starting to rain mid-afternoon or
so.

It's been an interesting if not hard trip: playing 5 dates in a row is
unusual for BeauSoleil. I think tonight we were on auto pilot and
played very well, considering how tired we all are. I'm looking
forward to a 'day off' in the van!

I see that the Dirty Dozens are now following my tweets. Amazing
thing this technology thing.

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!
