This Week!
The highlight of the week is this Thursday at Red Star Bar: Thomas Johnson and the People, doing a special acoustic show featuring violinist Raul Gomez and cellist Marcelo Vieira. We’ll start at 10PM; cover is $5. I hope you can all make it!
I also have two recommendations (as in, I’m NOT playing, but I WILL be in attendance at these shows):
22 February 2011: Jeff Albert’s Instigation Quartet (NOLA v. 1.0), Open Ears Music Series, Blue Nile (Upstairs), Frenchmen St, New Orleans, LA 10PM / no charge
23 February 2011: Helen Gillet/Jesse Morrow/Dave Cappello, Bacchanal Wine and Spirits, Bywater, New Orleans, LA, 7:30PM / no charge (great chef!)
If you’re out and about in New Orleans on either of those nights, I highly recommend both of these events!
There’s plenty more from me on the horizon, as Mardi Gras fever starts its slow boil in the city…
