Regattabar, Cambridge, MA 9/10/9

Topic: Regattabar, Cambridge, MA 9/1/9
We returned to the Regattabar for a single show to about 200 people
last night. The sound was really nice and the band played a myriad of
tunes ranging from our CDs.
We did two ukulele songs: La Chanson de Cinquant Sous and Roswell
Rudd's Bamako. The Uke stuff is a nice addition to the sets, with
more tunes forthcoming.
The nice thing about playing the Regattabar is that the band gets to
stay in the hotel. It is so nice to be able to walk to the 'venue'
from your hotel room! And of course, to have the restaurant and bar
at your disposal is also convenient.

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!

Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show, Cranston, RI, 2/10/18

We’ve played the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet Mardi Gras show many times. It’s put on by Church Wentworth, who also produces the Ninigret Park Labor Day Festival. It was the 26th year of the Mardi Gras show, and the place was rocking! We played a rousing dance set, and we were followed by Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, old friends and great musicians.  

The Turning Point, Piermont, NY, 2/9/18

We played the Turning Point on Friday, 2/9.  If you’re not familiar with the place, it’s downstairs from a restaurant, housed in a rather small bar.  John McAvoy, the owner, is quite a character, and he always treats us great.  The place holds 78 max, and I believe there were 85 there! Some day I’d like to see what Piermont looks like in the daylight! We’ve never been able do that.   The audience was very receptive, no dancing allowed (no room), and we played a pretty good ‘sit down set.’ We look forward to our next appearance there!
