We started the day off nicely by going up to our great public radio station in New Orleans, the one and only WWOZ. It was the last day of the semi annual pledge drive where they raise $ so the station can stay on the air. It’s almost all volunteers. We are all about supporting [...]

The hallowed grounds of Tipitina’s was very welcoming to The Bonerama’s last night. It’s always an honor to play there. Like playing Carnegie Hall, but a bit more funkier. (I’ve never played Carnegie Hall, but I know how to get there). How about A LOT more funkier. Never the less, it’s a great music venue [...]

The second night was kicked up a notch. We knew we were going home on Monday morning to make it for Mardi Gras so every one was excited to hit it hard and wish it well. That means we played our asses off. Kermit had his set going strong when Bert jumped up for a [...]

I think the guys in the band would not argue with NYC being one of the greatest cities on Earth. It’s probably our second favorite city with you know which one being tops. Always an excitement leading up to playing there. We were honored to have Marco Benevento as our special guest on the Fender [...]

It was sweet to play in The Hamilton, the new music club on the scene in DC. Great, room, stage and people. They made us feel very welcome there. It’s always fun to jump down in the middle of the crowd and play and and dance with everybody. It just has to happen at the [...]

It’s always a great honor to do master classes with students of music. We did this one with the students of UW who are called the Badger Bones and happen to be 15 outstanding young men and women studying trombone. When we do a master class we go into a classroom with the idea of [...]

Wow, what a cool place S.P.A.C.E. is. Great room, good people and fun to play there. The audience was excited to see us and we were excited to play after being in the Bonerama Supa Sprinter for 16 hours. It’s amazing the adrenaline that you can tap into while your brain says, I’m tired. The [...]
