Raif and Yvan strolling

In the bar area, of Pappadeaux's.. ... and a bit of strolling.

Band leader, Chico Converse, is in India for a few weeks, and regular accordionist, Dick Franz, was missing, but the four regulars of Lagniappe:

Yvan Verbesselt, John Mooter, Laura Sabo and Raif Faircloth, were joined by Sadie Faircloth on Accordion/Singer and Mike McIntire of Marmalade Brigade on guitar/singer. Great night of blues and other tunes.

Pappadeaux's was very busy but the people that work there were all very nice and friendly. It was our first time there.

I accidentally left my zoom lens on the camera but did the best I could.  The lighting was dim on the band after dark and I had to resort to using the flash a couple times, of which I am no longer a fan, but sometimes it's necessary!  I'd rather get a slightly out of focus photo on some shots and use the natural light, if possible.  This can result in a grainy photo due to higher ISO speeds but forces me to get creative.

Lagniappe returns on March 29th to Pappadeaux's in Springdale, 6:00 to 9:00 PM.  See ya there!

Riverbank Cafe photographs

For those that don't do Facebook, here are some photographs from last night's gig at Riverbank Cafe, in Hamilton, Ohio. It was "Lagniappe Light" with Chico, Raif and Sadie.  It was a mostly strolling kind of an evening, and the company was good, the food was great, my beers cold, and the music fun and energetic. 

Sadie has a great voice and a sparkling stage presence whether on the tall stage or strolling the crowd (that used to be the men's shirt section for Burg's Menswear, for those who wonder "why such a tall stage?"

Sadie lugs her accordion around and sings as easily as most of us breathe. It's gotta be a lot of work but she, Chico and Raif were in good form.  They play all around town, and Sadie is Lagniappe's favorite "go to" person when a fill in is needed.  Next month, the band is due back at Riverbank on the 21st, but if there are changes on that date,  it will be posted here.
