Mike Pearce Plays On

Faubourg St. John neighbor Mike Pearce would like you to know:

First,I’m going to be visting WWOZ and Marc Stone on his Soul Serenade show tomorrow (Tuesday) around 2:30 PM to chat with Marc and play a song or two. I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve known Marc for years and just hanging with him for a bit will be fun and you will all be able to listen in. Of course you can listen on the radio at 90.7 on the FM dial or online at wwoz.com.

I’m really excited about Friday (July 20th) late afternoon when I’ll be playing at Chickie Wah Wah. I think that Chickie Wah Wah is just about the best music club I’ve been to, let alone in New Orleans. I can’t tell you how cool I think this place is. Please come by and check it out. I’ll be playing the “happy hour” show starting at 5:30 PM. I’ll be playing solo and am very excited about playing there.

Tues 7/17 2:30 PM | WWOZ 90.7 | www.wwoz.com

Fri 7/29 5:30 PM

2828 Canal Street
New Orleans

Thanks,
-Mike

Neighbor Offers Free Music

Hello one and all,

As you can imagine, we are pleased to be back home, following nearly three months of travel and some excellent shows and new friends. This is exactly what sustains us out there – that and the geographic, geologic, and culture-ific wonder that is America.

First of all, thanks to everyone who participated in our free download of “Blackwater Music”. Today is the final day, so get with it if you haven’t already! Because we are approaching December and our thoughts are turning to gifting our friends and relations, Spencer is offering a special for December only. When you buy any 2 CDs of your choice from his website, we will add a FREE CD of Spencer’s roots-rock classic PRESENT TENSE!!! Recorded in 1995, PRESENT TENSE features 10 Spencer Bohren originals with Reggie Scanlan and Frank Bua of the now-legendary New Orleans Radiators in the rhythm section and the inimitable Bengt Blomgren from Sweden on electric guitar. So share some music with this gift from Spencer to you.

There are, of course, a couple of New Orleans shows this month . . .

Thursday December 8
OGDEN MUSEUM OF SOUTHERN ART, 925 Camp Street, presents Spencer Bohren at its Ogden After-Hours Series. Showtime is 6 pm.

Thursday, December 22
SNUG HARBOR, 626 Frenchmen Street. It’s time for Spencer’s annual Snug Harbor Christmas Party. Shows are at 8 and 10, with a musical cast of friends to include Camile Baudoin, new New Orleanean Mark Growden, the reimagined Impossible Cases featuring Reggie Scanlan and Andre Bohren, Dave Pomerleau and Harry Hardin from Johnny Sketch reincarnating Hank Williams, Natalia Cascante, M’belia Meekers, Mike Pearce, Robert Eustis, and of course our daughter Corinna who will be home for the holidays. And yes, Andre Bohren will perform his annual classical piano wizardry. And there will be more . . . Now is the time to make your reservation – that first show often sells out
quickly! phone 949-0696 or contact by email: http://www.snugjazz.com

Call, write, or come to a show ~ we love hearing from y’all!

Neighbors Get Blues

September 3, 2011 by Charlie London

Two Neighborhood Greats that Work Great Together

Many of you may remember Mike Pearce as the former President of the Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association. But, Mike has a deeper passion burning in his soul and that is to play the blues.

Mike will be at the Bayou Park Bar at 542 South Jefferson Davis Parkway this Tuesday, September 6th. His set begins at 7:30 p.m.

Come on out and support Mike Pearce who has given so much of his time to help make Faubourg St. John a great place to live. You’ll have fun and hear some great music too!

Mike says, “…playing in public again for the first time in quite a while. Next Tuesday I’m going to be playing an early evening show at the Bayou Park Bar on Jefferson Davis. I’ll be going on at 7:30 and finishing at 8:30. I’m hoping that this can turn into a regular thing and having people show up would help. If you can make it I’d really appreciate it.”

Mike considers it an honor to be opening the show for neighborhood legend Walter “Wolfman” Washington who plays regular gigs all over New Orleans and will start his set at 9 pm. Mr. Washington gives back to Faubourg St. John too!

“Wolfman” plays every year at the Fortier Park Festival where Walter “Wolfman” Washington and the Roadmasters help raise funds for the benefit of Fortier Park. Check out the 2008 video above.
