St. Louis Blues

No...not those St. Louis Blues. On 2/19/10 I attended a concert for a local artist named Pokey LaFarge, he and his band, the South City Three, play rag time blues in the tradition of Leadbelly. Their sound is unmistakeable and infectious and their look, well, it's totally unique and utterly dapper. Their most recent CD release, Riverboat Soul (available on PokeyLaFarge.net and Amazon.com) is a mainstay in my car and my iPod and I dare you to try and not tap your toes/snap your fingers along with the beat!

Playin in the band

I was so fortunate to have been included in a remarkable fundraiser for the World Food Program's Haiti Relief efforts on 1/31/10. This concert took place at Cicero's in Delmar and featured some very talented local bands. Here are just a few of the shots from that evening, the full set of photos is available for viewing on my Flickr page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/44564519@N00/).
