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......

Krewe du Vieux was awesome as usual last night. We went and caught it on Frenchmen Street towards the end of the route. Stopped in a dba and caught a set of Little Freddie King, then headed back towards home to go to the Krewe du Vieux Doo which was being held at Project Restore Habitat for Humanity at 2830 Royal St., one block from my house!!

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/

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;-)

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!

"What's Goin On"

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:07:23 GMT

Some captured moments from the past month of covering the BP Oil spill, illustrating the strength and beauty of our wildlife even under dire circumstances. I picked "What's Goin On?" to name the Gallery because that's what I see in the eyes of wildlife and humans alike .....funds from the sales of these images will be used fund my continued passionate and truthful coverage of this disaster that is and will impact every one of our lives. You will benefit from an honest coverage of what's really going on and I will be able to continue to support fishermen out of work on my boat trips into the marsh photographing the continued impact on our fragile ecosystem. See all of my coverage at http://nativeorleanian.com/ Slideshow for this Gallery has music.....check it out!
