Following the raging success of last week’s “Fishes n B!tches” fish fry, Musicians, Mentors, and Barroom Heroes brings you “Sqrrlz & Grrlz”, a Michael-Darby-homecooked squirrel stew (or something) on-air extravaganza, complete with alligator meat from Red DeVecca and a frozen rabbit/possum from Lou. Come for the sqrrlz, stay for the grrlz. (Or vice versa.) Tune in for the sizzle.
Amidst the gamey Cajun chaos, we also have “Hair on the Air”, with Tina Jamieson gittin’ her hair did somethin’ crazy by Stacey Kelly Styling!
And (obviously) tons of live originals by local musicians. Ron Hotstream, Smitti Supab, and Ian Petillo have some new material to share will us, and we’ll be joined by a slew of folks that may or may not include Red DeVecca on the upright bass, Jon Hatchett Lou, Jean “Baguette” Bayou, #WhoNat, Melissa Perry, Mark Antonaccio, Pizza Mike, Shameus Pan Greymountain, Artemis, Lumino Perseid, Rory Collins, Carolyn Broussard, Patrick Cooper, Los DeOrazios., Shawn Williams…the list goes on…

*I do feel the need to state (lest this carnivorous post be misconstrued) that even though I have never been/attempted to be a vegetarian and am certainly not about to get up on a soapbox, I think the meat industry is gross and would rather support limited local hunting than supermarket creepery. [also #tryingToKickMyOccasionalBeefJerkyHabit- 1 month! you are not a cowboy because you eat beef jerky, laura, you are eating chemicals out of a plastic bag and you live in a city and have no idea how to ride a horse or foil a railroad heist. get over it, tex.)
