I believe this CD "Stew Called New Orleans" will let everyone know about Threadhead Records.
This is getting really good!

Do you think he would adapt it for a THR t-shirt? It could even be used as an additional fundraiser for THR projects/operations . . . :D

Ah-HA! Knew that look was familiar. Tony's work is pretty well known here in his hometown. Great fit with the cd name and theme. Can't wait to hear the rest of it!

Let me find out. We would certainly need his permission, as I'm sure we would all agree with.

The show in the park looks like a real winner, too. I'll be there. I'll post the press release here for those who haven't seen it:
CITY PARK BOTANICAL GARDENS SHOW KICKS OFF WITH JOHN BOUTTE’ AND PAUL SANCHEZ ON MARCH 15
(NEW ORLEANS)
On Sunday, March 15, 2009, from 4 to 7 PM, the City Park Botanical Gardens in New Orleans begins their Sunset Sunday series with art, food and music.
The first concert of the season features artists that are currently working with Threadhead Records, the non‐profit record label that has been helping local artists make new records and keep the music flowing in New Orleans.
Opening the late afternoon/early evening show will be John Boutte' and Paul Sanchez performing material from their upcoming Threadhead Records release, “Stew Called New Orleans.” Boutte’ and Sanchez will be joined by Leroy Jones on trumpet and Todd Duke on guitar.
After a short break, Paul Sanchez and The Rolling Road Show will take the stage. The Rolling Road Show for the March 15th performance will be:
• Susan Cowsill‐acoustic guitar, vocals
• Shamarr Allen‐trumpet, vocals
• Alex McMurray‐electric guitar, vocals
• Mary Lasseigne‐bass guitar, vocals
• Russ Broussard‐drums, vocals
The band will be performing songs from “Exit to Mystery Street,” Paul Sanchez's 08' widely acclaimed and award winning release. In addition, The Rolling Road Show will feature songs from upcoming 09' Threadhead Records releases by Susan Cowsill, Alex McMurray and Shamarr Allen.
In the words of Paul Sanchez, “The sense of community on stage, the sharing of the spotlight, energy and music is what Threadhead Records sees and loves about New Orleans. Come out to the show, share in the experience, be a Threadhead.”
About Threadhead Records: Threadhead Records is an unprecedented non‐profit record company formed out of the love for New Orleans, its music, and its musicians. Its mission is to help New Orleans musicians who were victims of the flooding that occurred from the failed levees, which took place in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. To this day, most of the musicians in New Orleans are still attempting to rebuild their lives. Each CD project is funded by the fans themselves and is paid back by the musicians with an additional 10 percent charitable return to the New Orleans Musicians Clinic. The musicians own their own work; Threadhead Records does not sign artists nor are they involved in creative decisions or ownership of songs. THR exists solely to help musicians get their CDs made. No more, no less. Threadhead Records is helping to rebuild New Orleans, one song at a time.

Paul told me the cd was held up a bit waiting on the artwork for the cover. Tony wanted a chicken ( i think ) dinner as payment. I'd say that's a good deal.

That is a great deal....Fiorella's chicken is great again! Oh you mean that the record company got a good deal ;)
Such great work by everyone involved!

Tony is an incredible artist and a good guy. I have met him a couple times. He also did the art for the Neville Brothers Yellow Moon album.

YYR!!! Once we get over some money hurdles, like everything in the house suddenly breaking down and the roof leaking, we'll be able to participate again.

I'm seriously thinking of coming down for the March 15th event. It will be just me this trip. Airfare is cheap, housing could be an issue. We usually stay in the FQ but I'm not tied to that if I'm by myself. Any suggestions for reasonable accommodations for a single she-person?

Hey Wanna be. I am coming to town on the 17th to look for work and check on my houses. Will you still be around ? Maybe we can raise a toast our future home, together. :)

ohhh -- I've never done hotwire but that's too low to pass up. It shows $177 total for the three nights vs $319 if I come in on Thursday instead of Friday. Airfare goes up on AA by coming in Friday but down on UAL (go figure). This might work!!! Thanks, swag.
greg, no sorry, I'll have to leave on the 16th. Good luck on the job mission and keep us posted.

The Hotwire 3* FQ for $49 is the Holiday Inn French Quarter. I just booked it for the night of 3/14. A friend and I are going to make the St. Joseph's parade that evening, check out a club or two that night, then head to the park the next day for the Threadhead Throwdown.
Woo Hoo!

Just noticed this on WWOZ -- unfortunately it's not going to be played on WWOZ, rather the program is up for sale to other community and public radio broadcasters. John and Paul are getting a nice profile in this week's edition.
I see the producer hasn't yet listed which stations will carry it -- but it is available at no charge. Think I'll send an email to a few folks I know.
