Paul Barrere & Fred Tackett
Paul Barrere & Fred Tackett, the two guitarists from the legendary Little Feat, can't seem to get enough of each other. They first played together on the album "Dixie Chicken" some 25 years ago and since then have played together or individually on numerous recording sessions for Little Feat and countless others including Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Dionne Farris, and the Wallflowers, to name a few. These days, when not touring with Feat, they like to unplug and share a laidback evening of Little Feat hits and more.
Craig Fuller
Craig Fuller is best known as the co-founder/songwriter and singer of Pure Prairie League where his hits include the #1 "Aimee" and for steering a re-formed Little Feat to two Grammy nominations.
The New Orleans Suspects
New Orleans Suspects formed in the summer of 2011 in the wake of the breakup of The Radiators after 34 years. The band comprises some of the best, most highly respected players in New Orleans, including: Reggie Scanlan on bass (Radiators, Professor Longhair Band); Mean Willie Green on drums (Neville Bros current drummer since '81 and session drummer for Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and more); Jeff Watkins on saxophone (James Brown Band, Joss Stone Band); Jake Eckert on guitar/vocals (current member of The Dirty Dozen Brass Band); and CR Gruver on keyboards and vocals (Polytoxic, Outformation). The band combines original songs in the New Orleans style with hits and obscurities from the Allen Toussaint and Dr. John songbooks, as well as performing favorites from Radiators, Nevilles, and Dirty Dozen repertoire. Fans of New Orleans' music are raving about the band's live show!
