0 Slight Adjustment to Our Last New Orleans Show of the Year

We just received word yesterday that Holy Ghost Tent Revival‘s van is broken down and they will not be able to make this Saturday’s show is New Orleans. 😦

But rather than cancel the show, we have decided to press on, and with serendipitous results! Filling Holy Ghost’s spot will be none other than New Orlean’s sweetheart Natalie Mae & Her Unturned Tricks! It’s going down like this:

10:00pm Natalie Mae & Her Unturned Tricks

11:30pm Dirty Bourbon River Show

Still gonna be one hell of a show! Get down @ Cafe P ~ 3445 Prytania Street (across from Touro Infirmary) Show is $5, 18+, you can smoke and drink at the bar, they’ve got the hard stuff, and DBRS’ll be pouring free whiskey too, like they always do when they’re home.

Facebook event HERE.

See you THERE> ~ DBRS

P.S. SHOW IN MOBILE TONIGHT! CALLAGHAN”S IRISH SOCIAL CLUB 8PM!!!

Tonight marks the Dirty Bourbon River Show’s 200th show. It’s gonna be a special one; we’re playing a co-bill with our dear friends the Howdies. Ever heard of them?

The Howdies are a 4 piece dark bluesrock outfit tinged with rockabilly, punk, and the sounds of spaghetti westerns. They are 100% Louisiana made with 100% pure lightning, and we have done many shows with them in multiple cities/states before. Dig it:

Show starts at 8pm sharp at the Blue Moon Saloon in Lafayette, LA. IT’S GONNA BE A FUCKING PARTY.

200 Shows. Dig it:

Hello folks! Hope everyone stuffed their faces yesterday – I know we all did. Now that Thanksgiving’s past I figured we’d give you a little update for how we’ll be finishing off the year…

Throughout the rest of November we’ll be finishing overdubbing Volume Three at the Music Shed here in New Orleans. Then, come December, while Vol. III’s shipped off for mixing and mastering, we’ll be hitting the road once again for a few little short trips here and there, East and West… Six new showdates just posted + more to come! —–>

Oh, and this Sunday we’ll be making a big little announcement with a whole host of prizes available for those who participate.

Need a hint?

Has a little something to do with this:

The Dirty Bourbon River Show Releases Their 4th Studio Album - "The Old Timey-AfroPop Jibberish Junction"

What in the hell are you talking about Dirty Bourbon River Show? Just what in the hell are you talking about?

Well, our 4th album’s ready. Just picked up the masters today. It’s called “The Old-Timey AfroPop Jibberish Junction”:

Pre-order it on our Bandcamp Site now for only $1.11 and get 3 of the album’s tracks today!

Then, when the album comes out on 11/11/11 – you’ll receive an email with a link to download a full quality version, along with the album art, liner notes & lyrics.

The album will definitely NOT be costing $1.11 when it comes out, so I’d take advantage of this generous offer now.

And just why exactly are we offering such a ludicrously good deal – unannounced, straight out of left field?

Because we’re batshit crazy. Why else?

0 This Friday! Dirty Bourbon & MarchFourth Marching Band!

This Friday Jazz Fest begins. And this is what you’re going to do:

You’re going to go see Wyclef at the fairgrounds. You’re going to have an amazing time. Then, when he’s done at 7, you’re going to step outside the fairgrounds, and you’re going to see these guys causing a ruckus:

Yessir ladies and gentlemen, Marchfourth Marching Band. After a brief show outside the fairgrounds they’ll be leading a march to the Studio 3 Warehouse (3610 Toulouse Street, by the American Can Company) where there’ll be food, booze, and Art Official DJ’s to warm you up and get the party started.

Then, come 9:00pm, Marchfourth will take the stage. Stilt walkers, fire, dancing girls, gigantic brass – you do not want to miss their show.

They will amaze you.

And if that wasn’t enough, to top it all off, Dirty Bourbon will be taking the stage at 10:30pm to finish the night off. We haven’t played in New Orleans since our CD release party at the beginning of this month, so we’re real excited for this one. We’ll have multiple horns and some fire (literally) as well. Don’t miss this night. Here’s your itinerary for this Friday, April 9th:

05:30pm Wyclef John at the Fairgrounds

07:00pm MarchFourth performs at Fairgrounds exit

07:30pm March with MarchFourth to the warehouse

08:00pm Doors open, DJ’s, food & booze, you get comfy

09:00pm MarchFourth Marching Band performs

10:30pm Dirty Bourbon River Show performs

Oh, and did I mention that the show is only Five Dollars!?

0 Blues you ough’ta know with Big Charlie: T-Bone Walker

a.k.a. Oak Cliff T-Bone

T-Bone walker is the reason the Blues is what it is today. Legend has it he was the first ever blues performer to use an electric guitar. He roamed the streets of dallas at age 15 opening for national acts and String bands. By the time he was in his twenties he was in Los Angeles headlinging on Central Avenue.

I know you’ve heard this one

Inspiring a generation of Bluesmen

Walker was the childhood hero of many many musicians. B.B. King bought his first electric after he heard “Stormy Monday”, and where do you think Jimi Hendrix learned to play with his teeth? Chuck Berry always listed T-Bone and bandleader Louis Jordan as his first influences.

Albert Collins and Jimmy Vaughn (Stevie’s older brother) talk about T-Bone’s effect on the Texas Blues
