Tipitina's 8/27/09

There's just something about Tipitina's that can't be paralleled anywhere else. I've played the Filmore in New York, that was fun. I've played the American Embassy 4th of July party in Paris... Also fun... But over the last decade of my professional experience I've enjoyed playing at Tipitina's so much more. I needed to make a great showing there with my own group. Well... Mission Accomplished!! Musically, it was our best show to date. The energy was superb, the sound was great, and each member of the band knew it and carried their own part to the 10th degree. This equation equals fun for the band and fun for the band equals fun for the audience and from there it's just a big circular effect.

We changed up the set a little bit and played a new song... Addicted To You... which is available for listening and download from this very blog. We also had CD's for sale as well as t-shirt give-a-ways. The t-shirts were a big hit and as I threw out the newly pressed shirts the atmosphere was feverish. Several members of the audience even made sure to change as soon as they got their shirts. So cool. With that said, I apologize to those who were unable to get shirts or CD's because we sold out of both. Our next show is at cafe Prytania on September 12th and I'll have more of both there.

I'll also post up some pictures by local photographer Jerry Moran from the show. I can't wait to see them. Jerry showed me some samples and they looked amazing.

You're tuned to the Happy Jack Frequency... next stop, Cafe Prytania September 12.
