[FrankMusicfan]

Hey Guys!

Many of you may have heard about the Backbeat Jazzfest Series by now - but we've added NEW ARTISTS so take another look! :: 20+ evening shows presented by Backbeat Presents at four of the top venues in New Orleans. This year Backbeat is partnering with the Louisiana Campaign For Tobacco Free Living to make all shows as part of the series SMOKE FREE!

The heavy weights are confirmed, the special guests are being announced and we're still not finished adding shows!


A few highlights of this year's stellar lineup include Dirty Dozen Brass Band featuring Booker T with Hill Country Revue; Big Sam’s Funky Nation, (Grammy Award Winners) Grupo Fantasma, Soul Rebels Brass Band and Brownout!; Tim Reynolds & TR3 w/ On The One; Ghostland Observatory w/ special guest tba; Cyril Neville (Album Release Party) with Tab Benoit & Jumpin Johnny Sansone PLUS The Wild Magnolias with Big Chief Bo Dollis and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux; Soulive with the Shady Horns & special guest Nigel Hall + Benevento/Russo Duo with special guests; Medeski, Martin & Wood with DJ Logic; Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue (late night); Toubab Krewe; Marco Benevento Trio / Bustle In Your Hedgerow, and many many more!

***Backbeat Jazzfest Series on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=15947708125&ref=ts)***

The Backbeat Jazzfest Series is also on Twitter (www.twitter.com/BackbeatNOLA), so come talk to us in realtime at www.twitter.com/BackbeatNOLA.


Backbeat Presents will present shows at The Studio At Colton Theater for the first time. The Studio At Colton at 2300 St. Claude Avenue, is a post-Katrina grass-roots conversion project of an old public school. Through the sweat of the residents, classrooms have been renovated into artist studios space and there is public assembly space including a 1000 capacity theater with a large built-in stage. It has a large open space in front of the stage and some theatre style seating toward the back. The Prospect 1 International Art Biennial featured some events and exhibits there and it is where Krewe du Vieux held their Mardi Gras Ball this year. It is located on the burgeoning St. Claude arts corridor that has generated a good bit of development interest from the artistic and real estate communities. It is walking distance from famed Frenchmen Street and on a major bus line (and 1 block from the Hi-Ho Lounge).


All Show are 18 to enter 21+ to drink and are non-smoking!


Here's the lineup with links for more information and tickets. If you're heading down to Jazz Fest this year and are looking for night shows to hit, it is DEFINITELY worth your attention!

hope you see something you dig and that we'll see you at the show! :D

Nice introduction. thanks for the info. I will be at Tips FQ on the 30th

[FishH2O]

Very nice line-ups you have there. Thanks for the nice variety in performances. Good to see Jerry Joseph back in the south again.

[Phatpapa]

Hey fish, Did you ever see him with Little Women?

[FishH2O]

Can't say I have Phatpapa. I use to catch him all around when he played with my boys (Panic). Always loved his style and him dancing around the stage barefooted.

[FrankMusicfan]

glad you all are digging the lineup :) we're really excited about it ourselves this year.

looking to be a great Jazz Fest in 2009!

[FishH2O]

Hey Frank was wondering how the ticket sales on Time Reynolds were coming along? You have any inside info on who just might show up and be a special guest perhaps?

[FishH2O]

oooops forgive me Tim is what i meant...sorry guys and gals..

[FrankMusicfan]

ticket sales are moving right along for the TR3 show (for all the shows, actually), but i can't spill any beans about special guests :)

[FishH2O]

hmmm but Frank I would assume we are on the same page huh;)

[FrankMusicfan]

i don't see how we could not be ;)

[FishH2O]

Well good deal sir. Thanks for the wonderful line-up and you can count me in for several of those shows.

[Phatpapa]

Can't say I have Phatpapa. I use to catch him all around when he played with my boys (Panic). Always loved his style and him dancing around the stage barefooted.

It was his band back in the 80's and they were pretty good. I've seen him a bunch with Panic too. (my boys too)

[MormonMatthew]

Little Women were a great!!! regional band, with a strong following in the Intermountain West ---Boulder, Jackson Hole, Salt Lake, Sun Valley--- After they split up, Jerry Joseph formed a solo group (Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons) who never managed to gain much traction......

His biggest audience now are those that know him from his many collaborations with Widespread Panic.

[FishH2O]

Yaeh I love some PANIC been chasing them around since the early 90's when JoJo at the time was dating my sister up in Oxford at Ole Miss when he was playing with ol' George McDonald (oops McConnell). Actually played some golf with JB a few weeks back in Orlando. My personal opinion the most talented musicians and most genuine guys in the business. Doesn't get any better when it comes to jam-bands. So Phatpapa you coming down to Orange Beach if so drop me a line and who knows maybe I can introduce you to the boys.

[FishH2O]

Hey Frank just purchased several tickets to see Dave play. Ut roh my bad I meant to say Tim and TR3. Anyways thank once again for all of the info and the sweet line-ups you guys have strung together.

[Phatpapa]

I wish I could make it to Orange. I'm probably going to have to wait til Red Rocks to see them. I agree they are some of the most genuine guys in the bidness

drop me a line at phatpapa1 at hotmail dot com

[FishH2O]

Since we got side-tracked to WIDESPREAD PANIC; anybody interested in watching this years New Year's Eve simulcast via internet free of charge; shoot me an email to jonathancovert at yahoo.com. I will offer this up since I am a newbie to the board. The webcast includes all of Yonder Mountain and PANIC'S 12/31/09 show in Denver Co.

Check your mail

[FishH2O]

you have mail as well enjoy the show!!

[MormonMatthew]

I have met JB on a couple of different occasions, and he really does seem like a down to earth, and very low-key kind of guy. Same with Todd and Dave Schools as well. Mike was also easy to talk to, and I just wish the band would find a permanent guitar player to do justice to his contributions to Widespread Panic.......

Jimmy Herring is an amazing player, hopefully he will find his place among the rest of the band.......

[jhjpotter]

Love me some Panic!! They always draw a fun crowd at Acura. guess the fans mirror the band as a generalization. Keep wishing they'd make a trip back through jackson hole one of these summers!! Ain't Life Grand!!

[FrankMusicfan]

funny, i actually went to the same high school as Schools, but he was older. kind of a legendary figure among the faculty and students when i was a kid, but pre Panic. known for partying and his wild hair. hate to say it, but my mom was his teacher one year and i don't think she was a fan. lol!

met JB a time or two as well and yep, very nice guy.

so, aside from Panic, what are you guys planning on seeing at Jazz Fest this year?

[FishH2O]

Cool deal Frank; so I would assume your a native of Richmond Virgina huh? Well as of yet the only tickets aside from fest; I have purchased are for one of the shows your promoting (Tim and TR3 ). You are the promoter correct?

[Orleansnj]

I would like to remind everyone that Backbeat Presents has generously donated a pair of tickets to many of these shows for the Threadheads raffle !!!

[FrankMusicfan]

thanks for so kindly pointing that out about the Backbeat donation, Orleansnj! tis true :)

yeah, Fish, i was born in richmond. moved later to virginia beach. and now live in NYC. i'm working with the promoter for the Backbeat shows, and for a ton of GREAT nola style shows in NY. no one else is booking these acts up here, so it's pretty awesome to be a part of it.

if you're ever in NYC and are looking for some new orleans funk, check sullivanhallnyc.com or nolafunk.com. CEG Presents brings in great music.

Chapter 2 Thursday night. Hell yea.

[FrankMusicfan]

Chapter 2 Thursday night. Hell yea.

nice, matt! you coming out to the krasno show on thursday? going to be the heat. i just saw krasno come out with the roots a few nights ago and he blew the roof off. def in fine form lately :) thursday will be fun.

[FishH2O]

Thank you Frank for all your wonderful intel and info. Will you be in NOLA for Jazzfest and if so maybe we can meet up and I would gladly buy you a few rounds. And if you don't mind when I see Schools in Orange Beach in a few weeks I will mention to him his old highschool teacher said hello!!!

[mattcastaway]

nice, matt! you coming out to the krasno show on thursday? going to be the heat. i just saw krasno come out with the roots a few nights ago and he blew the roof off. def in fine form lately :) thursday will be fun.

Yea my flight lands at 7:45, meetin up with my friends in Brooklyn, gonna watch the PITT game and then head over. I've really been wanting to see this lineup of musicians for awhile. Big Krasno & Deitch fan and more recently getting familiar with Nigel Hall, mainly cause of his work with Lettuce & Soulive. I hear nothing but the best things about Louis Cato. So it would be safe to say I am stoked. A Trucks sit in would really top it all off.

Follow that with Allmans and Dumpstaphunk the next night and I'll be a happy camper.

Just read a little review of Krasno with Roots & Dumpsta on jambands.com

[FrankMusicfan]

great lineup of music you've got there, matt! sounds like a fantastic start to the weekend. enjoy, bro!

and fish, sadly unless last minute plans develop (anything is possible) i won't be making it to jazz fest this year. save those few rounds for next year, or drink em ;)

and when you see Schools, just tell him i say Go Cougars!

[McGregor]

if you're ever in NYC and are looking for some new orleans funk, check sullivanhallnyc.com or nolafunk.com. CEG Presents brings in great music.

Is Sullivan Hall the bar with different bars on different floors, little hangout areas all over it? 3 floors? Huge bldg?

[FrankMusicfan]

hmmm, don't think so.

sullivan hall is a 345 person venue in the village. has an adjoined club downstairs called sullivan room - but i don't think it's the place you're describing.

take a look at sullivanhallnyc.com and see if it looks like the right place to you. there are photos of the club in the Photos section :)

[hogan20a]

McGregor,

I believe you are thinking of the Knitting Factory, which is now closed in Manhattan and I believe they tried to open a new one somewhere in Brooklyn.

[FrankMusicfan]

Hey all,

Just added a BUNCH of new shows to the lineup listed in the first post, including Rotary Downs with MyNameisJonMichael, The Bridge and Brother Joscephus & The Love Revival Revolution Orchestra, Big Sam’s Funky Nation with special guests Tarace Boulba, Soul Rebels Brass Band, and the Ropeadope 10th Anniversary Party! with Marco Benevento Trio and Bustle In Your Hedgerow!

Even if you've already seen it, it's worth taking another look at the full lineup. Check the first post in this thread, or go straight to backbeatpresents.com (http://www.backbeatpresents.com).

Hope you like what you see!!! :D

Is CEG involved with the backbeat series??

If so, let me know how I can go about getting my band into sullivan hall pretty please

[McGregor]

McGregor,

I was thinking of Webster Hall! LOL

That place is quite the scene or was on the night I visited.

Sullivan Hall used to be the lions den if that helps

[FrankMusicfan]

CEG is indeed involved with Backbeat. if you're trying to get into Sullivan Hall, i would suggest sending a demo tape or an electronic press kit to their main offices.

good luck!

Thanks Frank ... I didnt know what kind of pull you might have, so was gonna try to exploit you and the friendship we dont have yet... we've played there before, but its been years

[Jordan]

Love the lineup! I have one question though -- why book the Benevento/Russo Zepelin show on exactly the same night and time as Lez Zeppelin is booked? Seems like an odd choice.

[FrankMusicfan]

Thanks Frank ... I didnt know what kind of pull you might have, so was gonna try to exploit you and the friendship we dont have yet... we've played there before, but its been years

i appreciate your hilarious honesty, db ;)

i'll send your myspace link over to a booking agent - but no promises beyond that.

where are you located? are you touring? what kind of venues do you usually play? etc

[FrankMusicfan]

hey dank_bass, if you're still around i wanted to pass this along to you.

i checked in with a booking agent here and asked her to look at your myspace page. she checked it out and told me to have you email with any pertinent information to info@cegmusic.com. they'll be looking for myspace links, an EPK if you have one, biographical info, and information about recent shows you've played (in terms of location, attendance, ticket price, etc). feel free to reference this correspondence in your message so they know that i told you to get in touch.

good luck! hope it works out for you :)

ps a founding member of lake trout, eh? great band. i used to see them in the late 90s in charlottesville, VA. been too long.

[sfnola]

Hey Frank...hopefully you'll still check this thread....I just got a Jambase email listing the shows, and the only new one I saw was this:

Bonerama / MIDNITE band to be announced with many special guests (check website for details)
Thursday April 30th 10:00pm $20
Studio at Colton Theater
In assoc. with Ropeadope

I have checked the Backbeat website, the Stuido at Colton website, the Ropeadope website, the Bonerama website....you get the picture. No other info on this listed anywhere. Is this for real? My krewe was leaning towards the Royal Family Ball that night, but Bonerama at night is hard to pass up. Any info would be much appreciated.

I have checked the Backbeat website, the Stuido at Colton website, the Ropeadope website, the Bonerama website....you get the picture. No other info on this listed anywhere. Is this for real? My krewe was leaning towards the Royal Family Ball that night, but Bonerama at night is hard to pass up. Any info would be much appreciated.

hey sfnola :)

as luck would have it, i DO have more information about this show. check www.backbeatpresents.com again. did you look at the Show Grids?

here ya go:

Bonerama /
Midnite Disturbers
feat. Stanton Moore &
Ben Ellman (Galactic),
Troy Andrews
(Trombone Shorty),
Mark Mullins (Bonerama),
Big Sam, Kevin O'Day

[BigDag]

Where is the Colton Theatre?

Never mind: 2300 St. Claude.

[dank_bass]

hey dank_bass, if you're still around i wanted to pass this along to you.

i checked in with a booking agent here and asked her to look at your myspace page. she checked it out and told me to have you email with any pertinent information to info@cegmusic.com. they'll be looking for myspace links, an EPK if you have one, biographical info, and information about recent shows you've played (in terms of location, attendance, ticket price, etc). feel free to reference this correspondence in your message so they know that i told you to get in touch.

good luck! hope it works out for you :)

ps a founding member of lake trout, eh? great band. i used to see them in the late 90s in charlottesville, VA. been too long.

hey frank, Ive been busy and just seeing this, thanks for all the info ... my myspace page is rarely used i just set it up to have a presence. I'll get the bands link to her after I update the songs on there. Thanks for any help. We are not a steady touring band but have enough friends in NY to bring a crowd.

Thanks Again

you got it, BigDag :) that's the address.

the Studio at Colton Theater was also the site of the Krewe de Vieux party during Mardi Gras this year. it's a very cool new space. Backbeat is proud to be able to have a hand in bringing it onto the scene.

well worth your time to stop in and catch a show there :)

what i noticed on that site (which is not yet on the grids):

may 2 late night at the blue nile upstairs: the quartet (deitch, daniels, neville, big sam) - that is intriguing. but will it win out over new mastersounds? gotta see

looks like it's on the grids to me!

and as for new mastersounds, they're another great band - but i wouldn't miss that quartet show personally. nola greats AND newschoolers on that bill :)

[sitdancer]

i can't see it on the grids. blue nile late night on sat? maybe i'm just blind.

new mastersounds are one of my favorite bands, and i am sure they will get all sorts of crazy sit-ins, so it is a very hard decision for me. but i may very well go with the quartet. too bad NMS only get one little show over the whole two weeks this year, seems like they were much more busy last year :(

really, really want to see NMS this year but late night at HOB is sorta meh. was hoping they'd find their way to blue nile again but they are elsewhere the week 'tween and it just doesn't seem like it will work out schedule wise.

this quartet show goes right to the top for options late saturday - though need to see Shorty too and late night at studio at colton with logic sounds like a winner. sooo many choices :D

[FrankMusicfan]

even more NEW ARTISTS added to the lineup, guys!

The Quartet featuring Dietch, Daniels, Neville and Big Sam!
Bonearama!
Rotary Downs!
Roots of Music All Star Benefit!

my head is spinning :D go take another look at the lineup! this is a word i don't use lightly, but that lineup is RIDONKULOUS! pardon my french ;)

tickets selling fast, btw, people. don't wait toooo long!

[FrankMusicfan]

TONS of new artists added to the lineup, guys! Please take a look! :D

[jhjpotter]

Bonerama & Midnight Disturbers second thursday night. niiice!!!

[funkkjunkie]

I'm liking that one too, jeffrey!

[FrankMusicfan]

hope some of you guys make it out! :)

[FrankMusicfan]

If you haven't seen them before I "HIGHLY" recommend The Bridge. These dudes JAM! We will probably be at that show, but really want to see Big Sam also...decisions decisions.

[FrankMusicfan]

i'm glad to hear you say that, Dude! you're right, The Bridge does jam! very, very skilled guys with an awesome groove. i feel like not as many people know them as should.

glad you're spreading the word :)

and don't forget to enter the threadheads raffle to win tickets to these shows!

Where did you see The Bridge? Just Curious ... they are friends of mine from Baltimore

[The Dude]

Where did you see The Bridge? Just Curious ... they are friends of mine from Baltimore

Back in February I was going to see Dr John and The Neville Brothers at HOB in Houston, I got through with work early and went by Cactus Records (Houston version of LMF). As I walked in I was like, "Man they are Jamming in here today" and then I looked in the front and saw The Bridge setup doing an acoustic show. They were amazing...I talked to them after and found out that they had just drove in from New Orleans and we talked about some of our favorite hangouts (DBA, The Maple Leaf, etc). They told me they were playing in Austin that weekend, and I was going anyway to see Asleep at The Wheel. When we got through we went to Stubbs to check them out...by now I had already fallen in love with their new album, great show. I posted a few videos on youtube of them..just do a search for The Bridge Stubbs Austin and you'll find them. I ended up buying their other two albums that night and they are really good. Can't wait to see them again. I've been telling everyone I can about them since that first encounter.

[funkkjunkie]

I'll likely be at the Bone and the Disturbers but I'm loving the wolf's show(I lllllooooooove Lettuce.) that night too, as well as the Cyril Neville show. Also will likely be at Big Sam and Soul Rebels because Soul Rebels are really kicking it right now. Also interested in the MMW show but would be more interested if I knew that Scofield would show up to sit in. :) I'm liking the Crazy Engine show too but that night i'll likely be at dba for Anders.
I'm not crazy about tips FQ. At most clubs I can maneuver close to the front for a bit but that was not the case there last year at the lettuce show. And I have to have my close to the front fix, ya know.
I'm really excited about the new Colton venue.
Let's spin, yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[FrankMusicfan]

funkkjunkie, you are my kind of woman! lol :D

i totally hear ya about getting down front to get your groove on. i'm not really having fun until i'm sweating, personally :)

i think you'll def dig the Sam/Soul Rebels show. that one is going to be a groove monster. ditto for Bonearama and Disturbers. those boys are ready to throw down.

hope you have a blaaaaaaaaaaast!

[Zydekitten]

Can't miss the Steve Kimock Crazy Engine show with Melvin Seals!!! Got our tickets yesterday.

Woo Hoo!!!

[funkkjunkie]

Thank you kindly, frank. One of my fave fest memories was the Stanton Moore Trio at dba. I was up front and as other folks joined us up front, i just kept moving closer and closer to the stage. Stanton was so in my face. Wooooooooto the hoootyhoothooooooooo!
YYR, kitty, they are a possibility but i just noticed today they are playing at wakarusa. So i may wait until then to hear them.

[funkkjunkie]

Ummm, Frank, We read all the threads on the bored. We really do. Dat's why we're called threadheads. You really don't need to repeat yourself in every single one that could possibly get another body to backbeat's shows. Just spin with us and pick one thread to bump. IF you put that url in your signature, you don't have to mention it over and over and over and over again. :p :D

Hey Frank - there's a problem ordering Midnite Disturbers tix on your site. I go through and choose tickets. Then the screen shows "order details" - but there is nothing there, so I can't buy 'em. I sent an email about it, but haven't heard back yet.

Neen - I'm having no problem

what browser are you using? I got it to work in both safari and firefox just now.

did you choose "add to cart" - they have two buttons - and they are not intuitive - I choose the wrong button at the bottom first time.

[NeenAtlanta]

Thanks Michelle - I just went and tried again and it worked. Not sure why it was so messed up last time.

[FrankMusicfan]

Hi Guys,

It sounds like this problem is resolved, but if not PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME ASAP and i will be more than happy to do whatever i can to get things working.

thanks :)
