Judy Hill & co. “My Babe” Clip!

Posted on by

Exciting news- our live album will officially be a double album!! All sorts of additional music and content TBA. Hear hear!

Here–hear a sneak peek of one of my favorite tracks, Judy Hill belting out the Little Walter classic “My Babe”, backed up by Jamey St. Pierre, Ted Hefko, Bob Worth, Nervous Duane, and Rory Collins. This was a totally impromptu collaboration, which is why I love it so much… a lot of these folks had just met that night. And this clip is just a tease, so if you want to hear the rest of Ted’s “guitar” solo, you’ll have to get the album 😉

This came up in my facebook memories <3. Anyways, special extended edition last Thursday as we were covering for Steve Williams’ show 9-11pm as well. Thank you to all you new friends and old ones for tuning in, tuning up, hanging out, etc., many thanks to Sharappa for all these videos and Natasha for the photons! The GoFundMe page to produce a live Musicians, Mentors, and Barroom Heroes album from the last season can be found here at gofundme.com/mmbrh ; please consider chipping in! (Or sharing with your social mediaites.) Half the proceeds will go to WHIV 102.3 FM New Orleans, the other half to the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic in honor of Washboard Lissa.

Episode 47: Tequil-over (Buffa’s After-Party, Oct)

Posted on by

What happens when you are physically undead from too many gigs/witless side-hustles and want to kick everyone in the kneecaps? You put on bear-cat ears, drink a stimulant, and show up at the after-party! A whale of a time! (Happy birthday to Renard Boussiere and Gloria Turrini.) Heard tunes from tons of excellent local singer-songwriters after kicking things off with Katie Sikora talking about “The Sexism Project” (journalistic exhibition she’s spearheading which runs Nov. 2, 3, and 5 at Prez Hall.) Many of the recorded tunes we “spun” last night are from the artists playing the event. (Also, past MM&BRH guest Dominique LeJeune aka DJ Dominomnom is DJing the opening night. Woo!) See playlist below!

Episode 44: Sqrrlz & Grrlz!

Posted on by

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.

Episode #33: Poaching From The Mint

Posted on by

Lawd! What a crew. I harassed Jamey St Pierre and Ted Hefko to be on the show after an intimate performance with Dick Deluxe at the US Mint, and all these other great folks showed up too. Thank you so much to everyone that played, read, chatted, took pictures, refrained from barking, and lurked around in such a way as to cultivate the warm, wacky atmosphere that makes Sunday nights at 102.3 WHIV FM such a blast. Thank you Josh for these beautiful pics!
