Tonight Black Pearl Productions will host three amazing New Orleans bands to kick off the 2nd weekend of Jazz Fest with a special Cinco de Mayo night show. The line up will include:
10pm: Vox & the Hound – Former City Life frontman Leo DeJesus leads this motley bunch through the aural annals of modern indie rock with an emphasis on rhythm and riff-based storytelling.
11pm: Dirty Bourbon River Show – Check out this awesome video Chris from Treetop Media filmed of our CD Release finale last month:
Then, round midnight, finishing the festivities will be Glasgow – Proudly hailing from diverse and colorful New Orleans, Glasgow is a rock band that marries neat suburban charm with boisterous city noise. Strings, guitars, 4-part vocal harmonies & more. Dig it:
Doors open at 9pm. $5 / 18+ – $2 Cuervo shots & margaritas all night long!
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

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.
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.
– Big Charlie
Louisiana’s own Bobby Rush is the son of a guitar playing preacher, and a born Showman. His live show is a captivating mix of storytelling, comedy, and funky soul music. With the help of his beautifully voluptuous dancers Bobby Rush has been thrilling crowds for over 50 years now.
While it may be all about the live show for most, the few recordings Bobby Rush did put out were perfect representations of his style and soul. No one mixes Blues, Soul, Funk, and R&B like Bobby Rush
The Dirty Bourbon River Show plays it's 100th show.
