Myrna Loy Center, Helena, MT

Topic: Myrna Loy Center, Helena, MT

The band took the 'south route' to I-15 to Helena, across the Lehi
Pass, the same one Lewis and Clark took in 1804. The views were
stunning! And the road wasn't paved, which added to the drama.

We stopped in Dillon, MT for lunch at a Mexican Restaurant, and the
food, when we did get it, was good.

We got to Helena around 3:30 and were off to the venue by 5pm. The
Myrna Loy Theatre used to be the Helena jail, which is interesting.
Gary Cooper was also from Helena, and there were posters from both of
their movies in the lobby, as well as one of Myrna Loy's dresses.

The show was well attended, and everyone was tired, probably due to
the elevation we've been at for the past few days. It's hard to
adjust to higher elevations when you come from below sea level.

The Kate, Old Saybrook, CT, 2/11/18

We played the Kate on a very wet Sunday night. It was our third appearance there and as always, the audience was great and so were the staff.   We played a fairly well-rounded set list, mainly to listeners, as there isn’t much room at the Kate to dance.  It was a good show, and afterwards we sold and signed CDs.  It’s always great to see our fans. I hope it’s not 4 more years until we play there again!

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.

2/11/10: Northern Lights Theatre, Milwaukee, WI

We played the Northern Lights Theatre with Alan Toussaint. We played this theatre last Mardi Gras with Trombone Shorty last year. Alan's band is really tight and it was great to hear them. We played a tight 50 minute set to an appreciative crowd, and we sold more merchandise than previous visits. I decided to take part in some Mardi Gras, so I'm heading back to New Orleans. I'll meet up with the group tomorrow (Sunday) in Chicago. [Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone]
