Smthsonian Folklife Festival

It was only a quintet that performed at the Concert put on for the
retiring Folklife director Diana Parker.

The Folklife Festival this year featured Hispanic America and Wales,
an interesting combination.

As usual for the Folklife Fest, all the performers were housed at the
Key Bridge Marriott. There were the usual evening jam sessions, this
year taken over by the Hispanic groups. The music was really good.

After the special concert, there was a reception for Diana at the hotel.

The whole event was to be a surprise for her, and even though she did
find out about all the special events, she sure was surprised by it all.

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!

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]
