McCabe's with Richard Thompson and the Musical Instrument Museum


After Gator by the Bay, we played at McCabe's in Santa Monica.  The show was a lot of fun, as usual.  Richard Thompson was in the crowd and played a couple tunes with us, Conga and Bamiko.  It's always a pleasure to play music with Richard!

We flew to Phoenix on Saturday and played Sunday at the Musical Instrument Museum on Mother's Day. This is an amazing place: instruments from around the world all in one place.  The first time we played here we toured the museum.  After an hour and a half, we had to leave for the hotel but didn't make the complete tour of the instruments.  

The show was sold out, and we were treated very well by the staff and the patrons.  We also played a song, Je veux marier, acoustically, which the audience really liked.

Now we're heading home.  Our next performance will be next Wednesday in Birmingham at the Work/Play Theatre.

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]
