Recap of Week Ending 5/16

All,

We had some great music last week and while I was unable to post about all of it, I hope you were able to get out and enjoy it....
Notable shows were I was totaly destroying it's Friday show at Tir na nog..... Awesome job - and great show.....

Artsplosure was yet again a wonderful treat of great local, regional and national music.... This has got to be the best Free music Festival in the Triangle and this year was once again, no disappointment....
The Heavy Hitters on Saturday - The Iguanas of New Orleans & Karl Denison's Tiny Universe (adopted home of New Orleans) - put on two great sets of music.
The iguanas style of latin rock infused with blues/folk/funk elements have been a mainstay in the New Orleans and National music scene for the better part of two decades. They were have given rise to similar bands out of this area - most notably - Los Lonely Boys.
Karl Denison - what more can I say about him after that show? It was truly masteful - a great display of musicianship, and a hi-energy vibe that had the entire crowd dancing - the crowd exploded with the start of the show and the park was fairly full - just to see these guys - it was a great time...
Sunday saw Mel Melton and Charlie Musselwhite - both great shows except that the rain cut short Charlie's show - but all great hi-quality music....
