Some of my favorites from Voodoo Fest 2011

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:53:53 GMT

Had a blast out at Voodoo Fest 2011 in City Park back in November 2011.....Here are a few of my favs...started off Friday with some time at the Bingo Parlor with the highly energetic and entertaining Japanese punk band Peelander-Z, great show.......Jeremy Lyons with members of Morphine was great at The Preservation Hall Stage followed by Beausoleil with Dr. Michael White.....Caught a little Ani DiFranco with Ivan Neville and Herlin Riley. Ernie Vincent and the Top Notes were smokin on the Pres Hall stage a little Quintron and Miss Pussycat and then of course SOUNDGARDEN, the highlight of the day for me. Saturday continued with many others including Tommy Malone and the Hard Heads, Social Distortion, Snoop Dog who was incredible especially when joined on stage by Mystical.....won't forget that show too soon.....Blink 182 was great too along with Bobby Rush and of course the New Orleans Bingo Show, but the set that was on total and complete fire was Ivan Neville and Dumpstafunk joined by Walter Wolfman Washington, members of Fishbone and others....wow is all I can say about that show. Also spent time with Mac, the Original Meters, Dr. John with Walter Wolfman Washington, Irma Thomas, and Cyril Neville, some of the Meters and Raconteurs and more.....the rest of the shoot is posted on my website at http://nativeorleanian.com/2011-voodoo-experience-new-orleans-louisiana/

A few of my Lenny Kravitz fav's from over the years at Voodoo a few years ago and Gulf Aid…….actually remember a show I caught by accident at Tipitinas many years ago, maybe the day after Mardi Gras.

New Years Eve in New Orleans with the Treme Brass Band, Dr. John, and The Funky Meters

Jon Cleary, Johnny Vidacovich and James Singleton at Tipitinas Uptown 1-14-12

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:21:15 GMT

I was able to go catch a great show at Tipitinas Uptown last night. It's enough that just Jon Cleary was playin, but about a week or so ago Johnny Vidacovich and James Singleton were added, which made this a don't miss show as far as I am concerned. Have never seen Cleary and Johnny V play together and knew that it would be something special, and right on time after the Saints loss earlier in the day. The stage was set up as it was for Johnny V's bday show a few months back, so the both were stage front facing each other, which adds significantly to the intimacy of the show, basically musical ping pong right in front of you, with James Singleton mid stage on his signature stand up bass.....funky, slinky, bluesy tunes were on the menu, seasoned with some classic Mardi Gras staples....a sweet night of music indeed. Love to see these guys together again!

Anders Osborne and Keb Mo at the House of Blues

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:48:59 GMT

Was able to go catch a really sweet show at the House of Blues last Sunday with an Anders Osborne acoustic set followed by Keb Mo and his full band. Anders opened up and wow'd the crowd for about 45 minutes the Keb Mo came and finished them off for a couple hrs. A really nice way to ease out of a 5 day shooting marathon seein my friend Anders, who has been on the road with Keb Mo for a few weeks, and two of my favorite performers on an early Sunday night. Enjoy the pix, Jerry;-)

Big Chief Monk Boudreaux at dba on Frenchmen St

Well Mardi Gras is upon us and like clockwork, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux slammed a full house over at dba last Saturday with his kick ass band including Mark Adams on keys, Colin Lake on guitar, staple Joe Gelini on drums among others, also joined by his son Joseph Jr. also suited spewin out some serious fire from the stage. “Get out the way!” Mardi Gras day is right around the corner and as Cyril Neville would say, “Indians got that Fire!” Enjoy the pix....Jerry ;-)

Dragonsmoke at Tipitinas Uptown

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:12:36 GMT

Back in December I caught up with Dragonsmoke at Tipitinas Uptown I Featuring Stanton Moore, Ivan Neville, Eric Lindell, and Robert Mercurio. It was my first time see'n them so obviously I was really lookin forward with the incredible talent put together on stage. These guys were on total fire, especially in the second set which was littered with some of the most intense and nasty funk grooves I have heard in a while. Dragon Smoke plays together a handful of time during the year, and if you have not seen them, don't miss the next opportunity......
