Wow! Lucinda and Alejandro are coming to...
...the Whitaker Center and the tickets are only $35. Ok, this is the real deal and I got my tickets. I'm a Lucinda Williams fan and Alejandro Escovedo's "The Boxing Mirror" from last year was among my favorites, so it should be a good show. I saw her at the NOLA Jazz Fest back in 2001 but it was a short and unimpressive set. Just too laid back for the Fest crowd in my opinion. She didn't do any of her old classics, instead choosing songs from her new Essence cd that had just been released, and it's not among my favorites from her.
The Whitaker is very modern with outstanding acoustics, and holds just 1600 people, so you can't get a bad seat. I did get seats in the fifth row, so I should be able to take some nice pictures if they allow cameras to this show. Some do, some don't.
Anybody else have some good shows coming up in the near future?
