New Orleans in Philly

Saw Stooges Brass Band at the Blockley in Philly last nite. Kind of a late nite for a Tuesday- band took the stage at 11:15- but it was worth it as they put on their usual energetic show. They had the mostly college age crowd dancing throughout with non- NO classics ( Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, oldies covers ) getting best response . Show was part of a "New Orleans in Philly" series that has in past week featured several NO artists- Anders Osborne, Ivan Neville, Stooges - and will also have on Saturday nite the Dirty Dozen BB along w The Revivalists. Planning on making that Saturday show as well .
