As we get closer to Carnival, the music scene heats up. This weekend there are tons of killer shows happening all over town.
For improvisation genius, you can’t go wrong Garage a Trois at D.B.A. on Saturday night. This quartet features Stanton Moore from Galactic on drums, mad saxophonics scientist Skerik, Marco Benevento on keys and Mike Dillon vibes and percussion. These guys seriously bring it. Thanks to everyone who participated in the TVD giveaway and congratulations to the winner- we hope that you enjoy the show.
Donna’s has reopened on N. Rampart Street though the new establishment, dubbed Donna’s on Rampart, is not affiliated with the much beloved owners of the original club, Donna and Charlie Sims. Friday night they have the Brass Fantasy Band and Saturday night they have Simon Lott‘s Upfeel featuring Jon Gross on tuba and Wess Anderson IV on trombone.
For daytime music, TVD contributor and bassist Spike Perkins has a great band called Latana Combo. They are playing at the Art Market in Palmer Park on Saturday afternoon.
