This week's gigs: Jonathan Freilich Quartet, Mas Mamones, The Tom Paines, Naked On The Floor

Hello All, 

This week is the last chance to catch me locally for quite a long stretch.  Luckily it is a great week of shows for a send off.  You are assured to see some of the city's finest up to some unusual and interesting musical escapades and explorations in some unusual local haunts.  

Here is the run: 

Sunday Aug. 18th at Snug Harbor-  The Jonathan Freilich Quartet       

             w/ James Singleton-bass; Tim Green-sax; Johnny Vidacovich -drums

Tuesday Aug. 20th- The Open Ears series at Circle Bar -  Naked On The Floor feat.-

              Jeff Albert-tb; Paul Thibodeaux-drums; James Singleton-bass;
              Ray Moore-Bari     Sax; Tim Green-sax

Friday Aug. 23rd- at Casa Borrega- w/ Mas Mamones 

Saturday Aug. 24th- at Siberia- w/ The Tom Paines 

Tonight at Circle Bar- The Jackals 10pm

So good last week we got another shot.  Come out.  As Alex Mcmurray (there tonight!) says, it's ecumenical music.

last week's crowd

The Jackals  are:

Doug Garrison- drums
Joe Cabral-bass
Jonathan Freilich-guitar
Alex Mcmurray-guitar

Oh yes...Alex and Joe sing songs too.  And not all in one language either.  Collectively we are unafraid of a multilingual universe. Lengue, eh? 

Doug Garrison

Joe Cabral

Gray Gankendorff and Alex Mcmurray  

The Jackals ride again-Circle Bar Wed Aug 7-10pm(that's tonight!)

Hard as it's been to get some time where we can all make it, we finally did.  If you are unfamiliar with The Jackals, it was the sequel to 007 which became 00-Doug when drummer Jeffrey Clemens wasn't around.  Lip service had to be paid to those voices that attempt minor potential gains through strict name recognition, so we changed the name to The Jackals.  Now it is vastly distinguished from 007.  You'll see!

Anyway we are at The Circle bar this Wednesday at 10pm.  

Be there or don't. But...

As Louis Armstrong said "I never was born to be a Square about anything, no matter what it is..."   

How about you? 

The lineup is:

Jonathan Freilich- guitar
Joe Cabral-bass, vocals

Circle Bar Show tonight

M'luds, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm pausing the words on the death of the constitution and the snarky spy humor (see facebook) to bring the following announcement:

Tonight at the circle bar in New Orleans at 10:30pm I'll be performing withAlex McMurray, Doug Garrison and Bill Malchow. We will be engaging in everybody's favorite form of offline subversion- MUSIC! - the good kind. Cheaper than a Po' Boy (now a local designer sandwich). 
For those of you concerned with class and respectability, Mcmurray will be grass fed and fennel rubbed and rear gentrified
The great caroline valencia will be bartending. its the perfect midweek gateway to the rest of the week. Don't miss it!
See you tonight

Jackals Circle Bar gig cancelled but replaced!

The Circle Bar has had their music licensing called into question and is currently not having live music.  So, unfortunately, this Sunday's show with the Jackals is cancelled.  However, there will be an extravaganza and Jam Session with a great number of special guests on Monday night at the Bacchanal at 8pm.  Here is the flyer by Joe Cabral.  Can you identify that sax giant?
