After my round at the French Quarter last night, I headed over to the Exit / In to help Billy Block celebrate his 50th birthday.
It was quite a show and worth a getting little less sleep than normal.
The line-up was stellar with Jeffrey Steele making a special appearance at the end of the night.
Dave Olney - Americana star
Buck Jones - Texas country
Pat McLaughlin - Roots rocker deluxe
Jubal Lee Young - Western Beat rocker
Kevin Welch - The one and only
Good times... good times.
Of course, I forgot my camera.
**foiled again**
Sorry.

Everytime I miss a Dave Olney show, I know I have missed greatness. Everytime I have seen him, I have brought someone along who has never heard of him. And each time, he ends up with a new fan.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I'm a big fan of Pat McLaughlin as well. He is so soulful and rhythmic.
ReplyDeleteI had heard of Kevin Welch, but not experienced him until Tuesday night. His stuff is very sincere and unpretentious. And, his son sat in on a song... he really blew me away. He was playing the banjo and his voice really captivated me. Unfortunately, for the life of me, I can't remember his name right now. He's great and is one of the sound guys at the Bluebird... so I should remember it. Oh well.
