There are some shows you shoot out of appreciation for the music… others for a connection with the artist… this show was a combination of the two. Sam Billen and I have known each other since high school. We both played in bands, and at times even shared the stage with one another. I am [...]

Still hyped from the recent win by the Saints at Super Bowl XLIV, New Orleans based “Galactic” brought all the energy of NOLA to Lawrence, KS. “Who Dat!” and “New Orleans!” were the phrases of the evening, and guest trombonist Corey Henry made sure of that.
