To celebrate the 27th birthday of one of the greatest bands on the planet, we have assembled a nice collection of UNO Lakefront Arena Widespread Panic videos from years past. New Orleans has always been a second home to the band, whose members have graced nearly every venue in the city over the last...

We can get behind any project that Marco and Joe decide to put together, but when it involves an all-star cast recreating The Grateful Dead‘s stuff, we are fully on board.
The Athens, Georgia garage rockers will hit the road this January for a short winter tour that includes stops in both Baton Rouge and New Orleans respectively. First, Lee Circle’s long standing Circle Bar, and then a few days later at The Spanish Moon in Baton Rouge. The Whigs are fresh off the release...

Colin and his band have been simply on a tear of late. This evening was no different, showcasing an updated band (including Eric Heigle, most recently of Ernie Vincent & The Top Notes) and a fierce take on some of his older material. If you haven’t heard him, start at the bottom.
The North Mississippi All-Stars return to Louisiana on January 31st for a show at The Varsity Theatre in Baton Rouge. The gig is the second stop on a long tour that sees the band up the West Coast, including Los Angeles’s Grammy Museum for ‘Mississippi Nights‘ – a tribute to the legacy of Mississippi music. With Chris Chew off the road with health reasons, old Hill Country friend Lightin’ Malcolm will join the Dickinson brothers on bass for the entirety of the tour. Tickets go on sale this Friday.

The funkiest man in town turns 65 on the day after Christmas, and to celebrate, he’s hosting his annual birthday bash down at the Howlin’ Wolf. George’s little soirée has become a holiday tradition for many of our friends here at The Infirmary, dating back to the old Howlin’ Wolf (and the post-Katrina Baton Rouge birthday bash at the old Chelsea’s off of Highland Rd). Guests are always a who’s who of top flight New Orleans musicians in town for the Christmas holidays, happy to celebrate with the man that by many opinions, helped father the funk.
On Tuesday night, Chris and Oliver Wood are stopping in South Louisiana for a gig at the House of Blues’s fabulous Parish Room in the French Quarter. You may recognize Chris as a founding member of modern jazz titans Medeski Martin and Wood, as well as being one of the most talented bass players out there today. His brother Oliver, while a little less well known, is just as talented and just as powerful a presence on stage – leading the sibling duo on acoustic/slide guitar and vocals. Topping the band off is gifted drummer Tyler Greenwell, whose propulsive percussion creates the last layer of the Wood Brothers sound.

There’s nothing like a home field advantage. This old adage rings true especially in New Orleans, where our haunts, domed or otherwise provide us and our local favorites with a certain level of comfort and certainly, support. We live in a city that bestows on us the wonderful gift of being able to see world class musicians in their weekly gigs, residencies where they can settle in on otherwise quiet nights and absolutely blow the roof off the joint. If that old haunt Tipitina’s happened to be domed and held 72,000 people – Galactic would without a doubt be the team in black and gold, in all their different forms, protecting their HQ for the better part of two decades.
T-Bois Blues Festival 2011 About an hour or so south of New Orleans – in Larose, Louisiana – sits the T-Bois Alligator Farm, a stretch of land that for the last two years has held a small gathering of dedicated blues fanatics in what has come to be know The T-Bois Blues Festival....
