Tipitina’s is the place to be on the night after Thanksgiving for a massive throwdown.
Over the past year or so, the New Orleans Suspects have welcomed long time Little Feat guitarist Paul Barrere on stage. The Suspects’ bassist Reggie Scanlan (The Radiators) has a longstanding friendship with Barrere based on their mutual love of the New Orleans second line groove. Over the 30+ year career of the Radiators, he sat in with them numerous times.
WhenBarrere they first started jamming with the Suspects, they would basically just play Little Feat songs. But over time Barrere (pictured below) began learning the Suspects’ material, so now he feels comfortable playing whatever makes the set list on any given night.
John “Papa” Gros and Ed Volker are also expected to appear. As the leader of the Radiators, Volker shares the same long history with Barrere as Scanlan.
