Mid-week music

Tuesday
Second chance to check out Steve Kerin and friends at the White Eagle. Last week was big fun with Tahoe Jackson and JR Pella joining the band for some inspired vocals. It's for those kinds of moments that you just gotta be there. A different guest every Tuesday through October will help the band perform some inspired Louisiana roots dance music (New Orleans style blues and r & b, zydeco, Cajun). This week it will be Bob Shoemaker, one of the finest slide guitar players in town. Maybe see ya there . . . 8 pm, no cover
