SUN.12.JUL “La Fête” Block Party & Broadcast with Duo504 

 May 12, 2020

By  Evan

About This Event:

We're celebrating "Fete National" known to English-speakers as "Bastille Day!" ...But other stuff too. ...Like "National Jello Day." 

Of course, we don't need a theme or an excuse at all. Fact is,  New Orleans is cautiously making it possible for us to perform publically. So, we are partnering with whomever wants to help make it happen.

For this "block-party" we will have a full band: The duo plus Kevin Louis, Matt Perrine and Stanton Moore (who lives down the street)!

Food and margaritas from Espiritu and some other surprises. Our requisite security detail will be there to keep everyone safe and ensure that attendees are respecting social-distancing and mask-wearing protocols.

Our first set of music at 6:30 will be broadcast live. We are asking a $20 donation for attendees and anyone who wants to help out.

WHEN:

Sunday, July 12, 2020

5:30-8:30pm CDT

WHERE:

THE BLOCK PART WILL BE UPTOWN AT CHESTNUT AND 3rd STREET IN THE HISTORIC GARDEN DISTRICT

Yes!! This Tuesday evening, my one-year ban from Mona's Bar N.Y.C. ends and I will perform in Dennis Lichtman’s absence! No, it was never proven that the clarinet-coup last November was “planned” by me (it was *not*!), but witness accounts and cellphone video evidence showed that I instigated and incited a takeover by no less than seven additional clarinetists (six pictured here). Related charges included weaponization of the altissimo register, gratuitous use of Eb7, nearly a full octave above where the clarinet can or should be played safely (think 90s Mariah Carey… not good), discrimination against saxophonists in attendance, and aggressive use of background riffs to harass players into taking longer solos. It has been a long year, I have learned from my mistakes and I promise to try to be on my best behavior. I thank the musicians in advance for giving me another chance. ... See MoreSee Less
