Coming Soon !
Back at the Cafe features new takes from the original Cafe Sessions plus a bonus track, 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'. Same hits, new takes.
NEW BOOK!
Brass bands, magicians, break dancers, statues, puppetteers, astronomers...there is rarely a dull moment in the streets of New Orleans thanks to this lively cast of characters. Jim Flynn's Sidewalk Saints is a collection of local street performers sharing their stories in their own words. We like this book because it gives names to the faces we see everyday and offers a personal glimpse into the rich & diverse street culture that keeps the phrase alive- only in new orleans!
Pick up a copy and look for us on page 102!

ABOUT
US
We met each
other through our friend Zach in New York about 10 years
ago. We hit it off right away, and our music has brought us all through
the Caribbean, Europe, and the USA. When we're not working, we are often
dreaming and scheming about learning new music, recording new albums,
and getting better.
| ABOUT DORISE As you can see, Dorise Blackmon is a woman of many talents. Don't let the guitar fool you, Dorise can also sing, tap dance, and play drum + keys. Plus she knows a lot about a lot of things, like history, the horoscope, and vehicle + home maintenance. Under her neighbor Charmaine's careful tutelage, she has made a killer strawberry cornbread. |
