Whirring



I'm always on the hunt for new great bands, and I've just discovered The Joy Formidable.  They are great.  I've been jamming to them for the last week or so and have not tired of them yet.  Check out the video above to their song Whirring.  It's probably their most recognizable song, but they're all good.

Also, I went to their website to see if they were coming near me anytime soon and sure enough they're coming to New Orleans on October 11th with Passion Pit at the newly renovated Civic Theatre (which has quite the fall lineup!).  Cannot wait for that show.  Anyway, check them out!

Hopeless Wanderer



One of the many reasons why I love Mumford & Sons.  The banjo scene is cracking me up.

True Talent


Just listen to that silky smooth voice.  No instruments.  No auto tune.  Still captivating.  Talk about soul.  Wowza.

That's an artist.  That's Marvin Gaye.

Jazz Fest 2013

Jazz Fest has come and gone, and while it may have been my favorite one yet, I was glad when it was over.  I was pretty exhausted.  I went 4 days, my most yet, and the weather could not have been more perfect.  We're talking May in New Orleans, and I was actually cold the last Sunday.  Yes, I was chilly with a long sleeve shirt on...in the sun...in May.  It's still relatively cool outside as I write this.  I'm not complaining at all.  Naturally, I hope it lasts all summer long.  

Anyway, here are a few pics from Jazz Fest.  It's always a great time.  I saw a few long lost friends I haven't seen in quite some time and our house was full.  Great times were had by all.






Good ole Freddy.



The actor Michael Chiklis actually took this shot, I kid you not.  I didn't realize it until after.  Really nice guy.





Always love seeing strangers in my shirts.  






Dark clouds hover above Mid City.  Dave Matthews played in this.

Fiya Fest in Mardi Gras world, a relatively new venue right on the riverfront.  

The Revivalists always put on an awesome show.  Go see them.









Day 3 of Jazz Fest, the girls arrive.  It was a struggle to even get out of the house.





Norah Jones.  Love.


This is what the streets in the neighborhood look like after Jazz Fest lets out.  House parties galore.

















Black Keys.














Happy Jazz Fest.

Time to say goodbye.  Until next year.
