PICK OF THE WEEK: Dirty Dozen Brass Band – Bluebird Theater – Friday, July 5th
While The Dirty Dozen Brass Band have always been known for reinventing and rearranging their stellar catalog, the band has recently been digging deep into the repertoire and revisiting certain pieces that haven’t been played live since the original release of their debut album and earlier. Of course over time certain tracks have become showstoppers throughout the bands career, while other have been on the shelf for far too long.

The New Orleans Suspects – August 11th – Quixotes’ True Blue
The New Orleans Suspects are the newest band of their kind out of New Orleans, and yet is old school in its approach and its lineup. Let’s not mince words here; this band is a super-group by all measures. All you have to do is look at the players’ resumes. The band played a nice mix of NOLA staples and band originals, giving the audience a healthy dose of old and new material. They brought the heat on songs like “Smoke My Peacepipe” and “Sneakin’ Sally” with vocal arrangements that melted like butter on a hot NOLA day.

The group is comprised of musicians with experience and versatility that rival any other band that the city has ever produced.
