You
may know me as guitarist for The
Radiators, the funky-bluesy-rocky band
from New Orleans that, for 33 1/3 years,
engaged in one long, relentless Fishhead
tour, ending in spring 2011 with a
blowout nationwide tour, a Big Easy
Lifetime Achievement Award, and
induction into the Louisiana Music
Hall of Fame.
My
acoustic CD, Old
Bayou Blues,
features songs from my childhood
along Bayou Lafourche as well as a
handful of originals. I
grew up in New Orleans, and every
weekend we'd go to the country to
visit relatives along Bayou Lafourche.
My Paran Alton's band, The Dufrene
Brothers, played at clubs up and down
the bayou, and on Sundays we'd gather
to play music and sing in the living
room. Thus, we call this Living
Room Music, and the band is the
Living Rumors. (don't
believe everything you hear.) I
get to work with great guitarist
David Doucet of Beausoleil,
Harry Hardin, who
doubles as a classical violinist by
day and funk-bluegrass fiddler by
night, and the multi-talented and
insightful Brian
Seeger.
For more, read John Swenson's
article in the September 2011
Offbeat.
I'm
also having a blast getting
my funk on with friends like Sonny
Landreth, Steve Conn, Ivan
Neville, Curt Obeda and the
Butanes, Tab Benoit, Anders
Osborne, Paul Barrere from
Little Feat, Johnny Sketch and
the Dirty Notes, and with fellow
Radiators Reggie Scanlan in The New
Orleans Suspects and Frank Bua and
Dave Malone (along with cousin "Papa"
John Gros and JSDN bassist Dave
Pomerleau) as Raw Oyster Cult.

and I hope to see you soon!
