Welcome to the new Blog of Native Orleanian Fine Photography ~ the photography of jerry moran
A couple of weeks ago post VOW Fest I spent the greater part of the day with my compadres Cyril Neville , Devon Allman, Yonrico Scott , Charlie Wooten and new guitarist Bart Walker ...aka The Royal Southern Brotherhood over at NOLA Recording Studio where they were writing/recording some cuts for their new album to be recorded in early 2015.

This session reminded me of the ones before RSB's debut self titled CD, which were also held at NOLA Recording Studio, and ultimately recorded at Dockside Studios where over the 3 days I spent there was able to witness the undeniable creative chemistry between the band first hand......something I will never forget.....and oh yeah, I was there to do the marketing and CD photo shoots too ..........Even with guitarist and good friend Mike Zito stepping away from RSB to concentrate on his solo career with his band Mike Zito & The Wheel in support of his upcoming release SONGS FROM THE ROAD - Live in Texas (CD/DVD)Ruf Records, Guitarist Bart Walker, whose pedigree includes playing with Stevie Ray Vaughan's original back-up band Double Trouble and until recently had Double Trouble keyboarder Reese Wynans as a regular member of his own touring outfit, along with collaborating in studio with the likes of The Black Crowes and Lynyrd Skynyrd , has stepped in making the transition seamless.....This was no surprise to me after seeing Bart play with RSB in Nashville a few years ago at 3rd and Lindsley while I was on the road with the band for a half dozen or so shows. The updated lineup of RSB sounded fantastic at the 2014 Voice of the Wetlands Festival, and from hearing a few new tracks being worked out at NOLA Recording Studio last week, led by the “Uptown Ruler” Cyril Neville, RSB's follow up to the “HEARTSOULBLOOD” release will potentially be their best......and the first 2 were pretty damn good! Can't wait till they get in the studio in early 2015. In the mean time we were able to rattle off a few "under the gun" shots for marketing RSB and some solo shots of Devon Allman in support of his latest release "Ragged and Dirty" which was recently reviewed in Relix Magazine......Enjoy the pics!!

A few years ago on one of my visits with Mac, we were talkin about dreams/spirituality(go figure.....)......eventually Mac told me about dreams he had where the spirit of Louis Armstrong would drop in and tell him to do an album of Armstrong songs, but his way........ , hence the inspiration of Mac making a tribute to Satchmo album of Louis Armstrong songs.....

I remember the passion with which he talked about the “Satchmo” concept.........half jokingly I said something like....”No time like the present huh?”......fast forward a couple years and we have the release of critically Acclaimed Dr. John Louis Armstrong tribute album “Ske Dat De Dat - The Spirit of Satch.” And what a wonderful night of music it was last Saturday for the packed house at the Joy Theatre. Throughout the evening Mac shared front of stage stage with Terence Blanchard, Nicholas Payton and James Andrews, and was backed by an orchestra led by his music director Sarah Morrow............From the get go thru the funeral march rendition of “When the Saints Go Marching in” , Dr. John appeared to be on cloud nine, along with everyone in attendance, including this friend/photographer. What a magical evening..........here are some of the stills from the show.....enjoy!

Here are some pics from the Austin based Eric Tessmer Band from last Friday at Le Bon Temps Roule . I met Eric a few years ago at Lafayette Square thru Anders Osborne ......who happened to be playin that day.

The one or two songs Eric sat in on were enough to get my attention. Eric's style and guitar skills are categorically off the hook, along the lines of SRV(yes, that's what I said)........

This was the second gig for the band at Le Bon Temps this year, and at each one I talked with people there who drove 3 and 4 hours just to see these guys(that should tell ya somethin), and as Bob Marley would say, get “Hit” and taken away with Eric's guitar work backed by a more than competent band...... Ideally these images would translate what I was seeing and hearing at the show that night, but theres only one way to get the full effect and that's live, so if you see Eric's playing somewhere near ya, don't miss it....can't wait till they swing back thru here again! Enjoy the pics! Jerry ;-)

Just an incredible show at The Publiq House last Saturday night, kind of a “bookends of blues”,
jarekus_singleton_publiq_house_jm_062814_001 Just an incredible show at The Publiq House last Saturday night, kind of a “bookends of blues”, with Little Freddie King represent'n one end and the other end by recently signed Alligator Recording artist Jarekus Singleton from Clinton, MS who was making his area debut this evening. Little Freddie King did his thing, inducing the crowd into a blues trance......then Jarekus followed killin it with all originals emboldened with potent guitar work, quite a treat indeed......My first impressions of Singleton's sound would be kinda like an amped up Robert Cray, with the power of Buddy Guy.....these are just seasonings though.....Jarekus has his own fresh and soulful style pouring it out in buckets all over the stage during his shows........trust me, be sure to catch him if he swings through or near your town. Jarekus Singleton's new Alligator Records release is called “Refuse To Lose”, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy......... Enjoy the pics!!
