The Art Center, Carrboro, NC

It was another trip to the Art Center in Carrboro. It's always been a
good venue for the group, and this time was no different. Lots of
tickets were sold and I think the show was close to a sell out.

Instead of playing two sets, which would have increased our
merchandise sales, we opted for one long set, one very long set, 2
hours worth. Sometimes I think making decisions like playing a long
set isn't always a good idea. It's hard to perform that long, but I
do know that it's sets like that which go into the record books.

I don't think anyone had a bad time. I do think we wore out the
audience, however.

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]
