Latest News

April 2008

We begin the month of April on a high note after snagging an opening slot performance with the King of New Orleans, Dr. John. The Arcada Theater in St. Charles, Illinois (just west of Chicago) was the spot for the March 30, Mardi Gras party as we shared the stage with Dr. John and his backing band, the Lower 911.

While we know that the onsite crews were a little scared about having such a large band opening for Dr. John, the response we got from them, the audience and members of Dr. John’s group was all positive. Special thanks to Rocky and Jerry from Dr. John’s team for allowing us the honor and spending some time with us at the meet and greet afterwards. Special thanks to Ron Onesti and everyone at Onesti Entertainment for inviting us and we hope to work with this fine group of folks in the future.

New CD …

Yes I know we have been talking about it off and on for months, but the live Hurricane Gumbo CD is being prepared for final mastering and all the legal licensing items that need to be signed off on. Bassist Jon Richter deserves special thanks for all his efforts over the past few months in getting this to its final state. The CD will feature 8 to 10 live tracks from performances around the Midwest the past year and a few tracks recorded in the studio. We anticipate having CDs available at our upcoming summer gigs.

Speaking of summer gigs, click here to see the growing list of upcoming gigs. Our next job is at McGees Tavern’s May 17 Crawfish Boil and then on the road every weekend in June, including the Gumbo Ya Ya festival in Rock Island, Illinois on June 7.
