Headed over to Pensacola with my friend Brian and crew yesterday to catch my man Anders Osborne at the DeLuna Fest. Hadn’t seen Anders in a while so was really lookin forward and was not disappointed, as if I ever am….I heard Anders was not feeling well at all and when we arrived it was even more apparent, hadn’t seen him like this in a long time, if ever…..Honestly, most woulda bagged the gig under these conditions, but that was never an option for my gritty friend. I can remember a couple times over the years under similar conditions Anders internalizing the situation and pulling off some of the more amazing shows I have seen from him, somehow flipping the table on negative circumstances, transforming them into fodder to add even more fire to his already venomous performances. From the first chord, it was apparent that this would be the case again, as the band ripped through an hr or so set supported by bassist Carl Dufrene and drummer Eric Bolivar, to the delight of the beach ridden crowd….. Anders is one of those very special artists that even under normal circumstances, goes through a sort of metamorphosis once onstage,literally and figuratively , pouring every ounce of his being into the show while taking the crowd along for the ride. And a good ride it was……Enjoy the pics…jerry icon_wink More pics can be seen along with a musical slideshow at http://www.nativeorleanian.org/anders_osborne_deluna_fest_2012 ©2005-2012 Jerry Moran Native Orleanian LLC

WHEW!…….Got an early start and finished the pics from the “Nine Lives” performance at Tulane University’s Dixon Hall last week. I got ahold of both soundtracks to listen to while editing, almost like being at the play again! And what a performance it was in front of a packed house throughout. I have had the pleasure of shooting the play several times, one would think it would get old but my eyes still well up during certain parts of the performance……The play never gets old as it continually evolves as does our culture….. I can’t say enough about the cast, new and old, and of course the band. Enjoy the pics….Jerry More pics can be seen along with a musical slideshow to music off of “Nine Lives ” soundtrack can be seen at http://www.nativeorleanian.org/nine_lives_dixon_hall ©2005-2012 Jerry Moran Native Orleanian LLC
