Happy Fest!

I'm very excited to be backing up Dr. John, Shannon McNaly and Drew Landry at Tipatina's French Quarter tonight! (April 20) This is a benefit for the late Bobby Charles's "Solution for Pollution" cause.

I'm excited to be a part of this celebration of the late James Carol Booker. Dec 17th was his birthday. He would have been 71. Keyboardist Tom Worrell is putting together a great night.  It starts at the Maple Leaf Bar at 7pm with some of the finest current New Orleans piano players.

The lineup so far: Tom McDermot, Joshua Paxton, Joe Krown, Tom Worrell, CR Cruver, and Bill Malchow.    

Hello New Yorkers! I'll be in town Dec 18th to play some shows and visit old friends.   I have shows planned at the Ear Inn, Rockwood Music Hall, Rodeo Bar, and Hill Country. Check the schedule page for details.

Tomorrow is Halloween. My first Halloween in New Orleans, I'm told to expect tricker treaters.

I'll be playing with Shannon McNally and Hot Sauce at the WWOZ stage. 11:15am. City Park, New Orleans, LA.

It's hot!

Day 4 we are painting. It rained a bunch, never for long, but it always seems menacing. Also Mr Okra drove by. Perhaps his new truck has extended is range of operations, "I have strawberries, I have melon..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz2K8YPSMy8

We've reached New Orleans. Mid-City is our new home.  Now we paint. Furniture (and piano) arrives next week.  Yes, It's hot.

It’s a bit late to promote a gig for tonight. but most of you have blackberry’s and smart phones these days. (Me, I’m happy with my 5 year old samsung. It’s got T9!). So perhaps I can persuade you to change barstools.

‘Why so late? well things rang late, I’ve spent the day gathering boxes from friends and the Coke Bottling Plant in Maspeth (sorry Pepsi Folks, you’ll get your turn). Why? Cause my girl and I are moving. Moving to New Orleans.

I’ve had many a fan (and musician) say they thought I was from New Orleans, and I figure that is the highest compliment I could get. But no, I’m not from there. I’ve visited a lot but I’ve never lived there more then a month at a time. I just fell in love with the music.

So I’ve finally succumbed to her gravity. I’m really thankful that my girl Rachael, who is doing quite well here, is joining me on this journey.

So yes, I’m excited. but also sad. As far as cool towns go, NYC is hard to beat. Luckily, we have JetBlue for future reunions.

I’m at Rodeo Bar tonight, thursday May 20. Joining me tonight is Jon Ellis, Dave Phelps, Louie Appel and Matt Lindsey

We move in mid June.

Hey Folks,

Thanks all for the great turnout at sullivan hall.   There is a video of the whole show is streamed here. the sound quality gets better as you get into it...
