The Shedd, 10/1/9

Attendance was a bit low at the Shedd but it was a good concert. As
usual, we were treated well by the OFAM (Oregon Festival of American
Music) folks, and everyone was in good spirits.

The Shedd is an unusual venue: It's a converted hall with practice
rooms and presentation rooms and other features common to schools.
The performance area is a large hall with balcony seating. Although
OFAM generally focuses on the classical arts, the organization also
puts on concerts of popular music. This was the band's third
appearance at the Shedd, and, as I said, we had a good time.

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.

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. 

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!
