Check out the accompanying LMB NOLA & Friends Year In Review post here It's always interesting to hear what artists have to say when recalling past concert experiences and in particular, which ones stick out in their mind as "memorable". After an evening up on-stage, musicians take home an entirely different recollection of their live [...]
This little corner of the Internet would not be possible without the help, hard work and support of the folks below. We've got an eclectic confederation of folks keeping the wheels turning at LMB NOLA and we hope you enjoy reading our memories from the year in music. Continue on below as we recount our [...]
Marco Benevento did his best to keep a San Francisco audience perfectly satisfied last night as he brought his trio into town (this time with Reed Mathis on bass and Andy Borger on drums), but it was clear from the energy in the room that everyone had spent themselves out on a crazy Saturday night. [...]
Randy over at Funk It! does some amazing videography work and this might be his best yet - a 16-minute video that manages to blow through 26 different performances from the 2011 Bear Creek Music Festival. Apparently Mr. Funk It managed to capture over 14 hours of footage from the weekend so expect a lot [...]
Our good friend Pete Merriman (@PeteLikesMusic) went to his first Bear Creek Music Festival and took this great set of photos from the festivities. Peep the full gallery for shots from the grounds, Garage a Trois, Marco Benevento Trio, tons of Skerik and George Porter, Jr. sit-ins, and Trey Anastasio Band and their headlining set [...]
I am very excited to be making my first trek down to Live Oak Florida in less than 3 weeks for the Bear Creek Music Festival, and the anticipation has only increased now that the schedule dropped last week. It's my first time ever flying to a festival, so it'll be a definite change from [...]
It's not surprise we're huge Marco Benevento fans 'round these parts, and he's got a huge tour coming up on both the East Coast and he starts a West Coast jaunt on December 1 in San Diego. And don't forget he's doing some shows with Garage a Trois in Colorado during December and then he's on Jam Cruise with the boys in Surprise Me Mr. Davis . Busy as always. He recently put out an MP3 of his cover of Pink Floyd's "Fearless" which was recorded during the Me Not [...]
Garage A Trois took the stage at One Eyed Jacks last night rockin' matching gray Puma track suits, setting the tone for the full-fledged weirdness that would ensue. One of the music universe's more intriguing collaborations, Garage a Trois meshes the musical stylings of four immensely talented musicians into something altogether unique, disruptive, and powerful. During the show, my buddy and I joked over PBRs that it would be impossible to label Garage A Trois' sound without throwing 'fusion' on at the end for good measure, and a day later I've accepted the fact that it would be a disservice [...]
Garage A Trois @ The Howlin' Wolf - 5/4/11 - Photo © Jimmy Grotting Always Be Happy, But Stay Evil LMB NOLA favorite Garage A Trois will be be in South LA the next couple days for a Thursday show in Baton Rouge and will be back in town on Friday night at One Eyed Jacks. This is the jazz-rock fusion supergroup's first appearance in the Big Easy since playing a number of shows during this year's Jazz Fest. We were there back on May [...]
The boys in Garage A Trois return to the stage tonight at Artmosphere in Lafayette, LA, hit New Orleans to play One Eyed Jack's in Friday night, and stop a bunch of southern spots along the way before ending a brief nine-show tour with a gig at Martyr's in Chicago. Then they're going to Colorado in December... Read on for their current dates. GARAGE A TROIS tour dates: September 21 | Artmosphere | Lafayette, LA September 22 | Chelsea's | Baton Rouge, [...]
This music is never indulgent or self-consciously inaccessible. In fact, it's remarkably straightforward -- albeit in the sense that it won't remind you of many things you've ever heard. One of the great things about supergroups is that they are...great (or super -- take your pick). The reason so many so-called supergroups have flamed out, at least in the rock world, is because of those twin-killers of chemistry: ego and ambition. Think the Police. Other times, some or all of the musicians simply could not coexist. Think Cream. This is seldom an issue in jazz circles for one major [...]
The first round of artist additions to the initial Jam Cruise 10 lineup have been announced and features old JC favorites as well as a few groups whose members were already on board with other projects. Rockers Garage A Trois will join UM/tND side project Omega Moos on JC10 with each band getting one set a piece. Zach Deputy really made a name for himself on the last two trips and he'll be back again in January. Newcomer [...]

Wes just saw Garage a Trois this afternoon and already has a slew of videos up. Check it here!
LMB NOLA: Recently, Big Head Todd and the Monsters played a wake-up song for the astronauts on the Discovery shuttle (becoming the first band to wake up the astronauts with a live song). A lot of your music as a solo artist, with the Duo and on the new Garage A Trois album seems tailor-made to to beam out to the space walkers and aliens. If you were gonna play a tune to blast out into the galaxy, what would it be? MARCO: "The Real Morning Party"
