FitzGerald’s American Music Festival, Berwyn, IL

It's amazing how Fitzgerald can alter his club to accommodate an event
with so much entertainment and yet keep the Fitzgerald's feel.

The groups that played were amazing, from Bill Kirchen to Marcia Ball,
and of course BeauSoleil.

Since we had flown in on the day of the first show, July 1, we were a
bit tired but played very well inside the club stage. On Thursday,
after getting rest, we played the outdoor stage and really kicked it up.

Points to note for this trip, and more specifically O'Hare airport:
Continental has moved its gates to the United Terminal, in
anticipation of the Star Alliance merger later this year. No more
Northwest and Delta!

Chandler, Arizona

What a strange place Chandler is: a made up resort on the edge of the desert. We were treated quite well by the promoter; everything was well done, from the accommodatios to the dinner to the venue. We also sold a box of CDs, so it was all good. Heading to LAX right now, and it's a beautiful day out there. I'm looking forward to playing at McCabe's: I've heard about for so long that it's somewhat of an icon to me.

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.

TN Shines, Knoxville, TN

Date: April 29, 2009 11:54 PM 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!
