TN Shines, Knoxville, TN

Topic: TN Shines, Knoxville, TN

The day started with the Blue Plate Special on WDVX in Knoxville.
This was a live broadcast both though the radio and on the internet.
This was a good show.

The DJ took us to lunch before we had to rush to the Bijou Theatre to
do a sound check for Jim Lauderdale's TN Shines radio show.

The band got a standing ovation after the short set, which means we
need to come back to Knoxville for a regular BeauSoleil show sometime
soon!

Tomorrow we fly home to New Orleans. Big weekend in SE La coming up!

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!
