EVERY SUNDAY
JAZZ BRUNCH WORKSHOP NOON
'TIL 4PM
Our Sunday Jazz Brunch Workshop is a magical, musical phenomenon
that everyone should experience. The host trio of Burgess,
Stetz, and James (featuring the notable talents of pianist &
vocalist Greg Burgess, bassist Bill Stetz, and drummer Tom James) welcomes musicians of all
kinds to join in the musical adventure. Live and inspirational,
you'll watch, listen and smile as songs take shape and evolve in
an unrehearsed performance ... a real workshop to hone skills
and express musical vision. Many guest musicians & vocalists are
always on-hand to "sit in" as soloists or to be called upon to
create a whole new trio, quartet or larger ensemble, too. It's
a ritual that you'll want to be part of every Sunday! Because of
the popularity of our Sunday Brunch (served from 9AM-2PM), reservations are strongly
encouraged. |

The Mike Dillon Band 9PM-MID
BE HERE!!!
How many artists can claim being praised a "punk rock
provocateur," "jazz vibraphone visionary" and "percussion
virtuoso" in the same sentence? There's only one: Mike Dillon.
Whether through his affiliation with artists like Les Claypool,
Brave Combo and Ani DiFranco, collaborations such as Garage A
Trois, The Dead Kenny Gs and Critters Buggin or bands he's
fronted, including Billy Goat and Hairy Apes BMX, the Texas
native has set his own standard for 25 years now. Mike Dillon
plays vibraphone and rants into the microphone. Combining styles
and years of experience, MDB makes a noise that is unique in
many ways. Dean Wean said, " The Mike Dillon Band is my favorite
touring band on the planet' at the ween after show where all of
Ween sans Gene, joined the stage with Mike. The current lineup
includes some of New Orleans best musicians. Nathan Lambertson
is a top call upright jazz bassist with a punk rock heart of
gold. Cliff Hines has been playing with Mike since 2012 and is
the backbone of this group providing amazing counterpoint and
power on the guitar. In the drum department, Paul Thibodeaux and
Claude Coleman Jr. take turns battling providing the pocket and
percussive artillery. |

Vinegar Creek Constituency 8-11PM
SPECIAL ACOUSTIC DUO SHOW!!
American songs are full of deranged old ghosts howling at the
moon. Vinegar Creek Constituency, an eclectic, incendiary string
band out of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, channels these
venerable old ghosts of the American folk tradition through
imaginative, emotive original songs delivered with rock n roll
intensity. Full of shouting, floorboard-stomping soul, their
live performances are uplifting, high-energy events with fans
dancing in the aisles and clapping, stomping, and singing along.
Like their folk-song forerunners that took root around campfires
and on back porches across America, the songs call out from the
crossroads of light and darkness. The musicians of Vinegar Creek
Constituency come from diverse musical backgrounds that range
from formal Classical performance to experimental garage Rock to
traditional Old Time Appalachian string band music to Gypsy
Jazz. Consequently, the band’s sound encompasses elements of
many styles, including super-charged bluegrass, early Sun
Records-era rock'n'roll, swing, vaudeville, outlaw country, and
ragtime. |

The
Mulligan Brothers 8-11PM
TIX
The Mulligan Brothers is an Americana Folk-Rock band from
Mobile, Alabama. In golfers’ terms, a “mulligan” is a second
chance, and the band represents a second chance for each member
of The Mulligan Brothers. Veterans of other bands, this is where
they found the music they always wanted to play. The songwriting
and warm, honest, straight-to-the heart voice of lead singer of
Ross Newell draws listeners into the group’s signature sound,
where the harmonies of Greg DeLuca, Ben Leininger, and Melody
Duncan make the songs soar or haunt from the shadows. De Luca
plays drums and Leininger is on the suitcase bass ... which
Newell made out of two suitcases, a smoke alarm, and his
grandmother’s walking stick. Fiddler Melody Duncan recently
joined the band, bringing a female voice and perspective. The
Mulligan Brothers have released two albums, The Mulligan
Brothers and Via Portland (recorded in Portland with
Grammy-winning producer Steve Berlin) and will soon begin
working on their next album. “Armed with a violin, acoustic
guitar, drums, and an upright bass fashioned from two old
suitcases ... The Mulligan Brothers, a quartet from Mobile, AL,
stand dead-center at the crossroads generally defined as
Americana. Folk, country, and blues all factor into their sound,
as Ross Newell’s nuanced, radio-ready voice brings the band’s
story-songs to vivid life.” - Keith Spera, NOLA.com / The
Times-Picayune
