ClubD: A Wee Bit Behind

Been seeing & hearing some great stuff and have had zero time to write about it. Stories coming soon.

Rachel Yamagata and Landon Pigg @ the Birchmere
Willy Porter @ Jammin' Java
Radiohead @ Nissan Pavilion (a guest writer will tackle this one. Got drenched and chilled to the bone in that night's storm, but I got 3 songs from the Bends so my heart was warm).

This weekend, I'll be at the Jewish Mother in Virginia Beach for Tinsley Ellis. (Love me da blues).

Upcoming: Raconteurs @ 9:30 and Ben Folds at Wolf Trap.

More soon!

ClubD on Location: New Orleans Jazz Fest

The Jazz & Heritage Festival, New Orleans Fairgrounds

Weekend 2

When I think of homegrown New Orleans musicians, two quintessential acts are the Neville Brothers and Henry Butler, both of whom played the second weekend of Fest this year. As it has every year I've gone, and this is my sixth one, Jazz Fest filled my soul with blues, funk, zydeco, gospel, and every kind of jazz imaginable. The horns were out in full force and the music never stopped.

More soon...

Some sites from in and around Fest.
