I woke up to “I love Jennifer” on every day of my weekly planner for three weeks, but that is of no concern to you. If you’re in search of what to do, see, and hear this weekend in New Orleans, I spent time to find the best of the rest – exclusively for TVD.
Friday Night. Conveyor. The Saint. As soon as I connected Popgun Booking and Paper Garden Records, I was sold. All three companies have clout when it comes to recognizing impossible go-get-it-ness. They create the happiness that is eletronic and acoustic jams, so be sure and swing by The Saint at 961Saint Mary for the best time.
Motown, Soul, and R&B cover band (my seemingly only genre exception for cover bands) The Essentials (above) are performing at The Maison Friday night. A 10-piece ensemble reconstructing melodies from my favorite three decades – I missed their most recent show at Circle Bar, but there’s another chance to witness perfect pitch harmonies on Frenchmen tonight.
Im gonna go out on a limb and take a calculated risk. There’s a debut show this Sunday from Cons and Prose going down at Circle Bar right ’round 10pm. I only know about this show because a couple of friends of mine sent me a Facebook invite for it, and given that they’re in bands I greatly appreciate, it’s therefore worth sharing with all of you.
Scratch that, some musicians I know from other bands are actually in this band. Members of Rock City Morgue, New Orleans Bingo, The Blue Party and Sports and Leisure all participate in a new creation that should turn out to be a huge friends’ reunion for just about anyone in the city.
