I know there’s a lot going on. Jazz Fest starts tomorrow and the music scene is already at a fever pitch. However, I strongly suggest that you head over to the Neutral Ground Coffeehouse at 5110 Danneel Street, just off Jefferson Avenue uptown for 7 PM.
The Songdogs were one of the greatest bands from New Orleans that never made it to the big time. That may sound harsh, but if you were privy to their music in the 1980s, then you know that the world missed out a fantastic band that wrote compelling music and performed at the highest level.
This evening, two of the principal players, the vocalist Alison Young and the keyboardist/vocalist Lisa Mednick, are playing together and they plan on debuting new original songs. Neither musician lives in New Orleans anymore, so it should be a reunion of sorts for fans of the Songdogs.
Incidentally, there’s no You Tube videos or images whatsoever on the Internet. Go figure!
