Great crowd for the start of the Fourth of July weekend at the re-newed Palace Theater, now the College Street Music Hall. Soul voiced, but modern sounding Son Little was the opener. Drums, bass and Little on guitar and vocals played some southern inflected indie hits. CSMH retained the balcony and some floor seating but had a general admission dance floor in front of stage. Little, from Lake Charles, said he was proud to open for fellow Louisianian TS.
Trombone Shorty is a whirling dervish from Nawlins. I guess it helps when you start your career as a bandleader at 6 yrs old in the 9th Ward. Boundless energy from TS, guitar, drums, two saxes, and big fella on electric bass. Some originals, Let's Get it On, Get Down on It, Mardi Gras Day, a Green Day hit, BB King tribute, and encored with a rousing When The Saints Go Marching In. You just new the night was rockin when The Funky Dawgs Brass Band set up on College Street to play as concert goers entered the hall.
