Eiffel Society - Saturday Sept. 4, 2010
Jesse Hiatt moved to New Orleans from Los Angeles in March of 2010, and has proceeded to quickly establish himself as a first rate musician, singer, and songwriter in the Crescent City. He was raised in the Bay Area of Northern California, and while living in Santa Cruz, he built and ran a recording studio which allowed him time to record his debut CD, Choose Your Road. During the 2009 Jazz Fest, Kevin O'Day and Hiatt began working together along with Reggie Scanlan, esteemed bassist from the Radiators. Their debut recording "They Dug a Hole", Jesse's song about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, can be heard in raw form at the top of this page. On Saturday Sept. 4th, The Jesse Hiatt Band will play songs from Choose Your Road, along with new material and some choice New Orleans R&B classics.

Eiffel Society - September 11, 2010
James Andrews & Kevin O'Day Kevin O'Day, Walter "Wolfman" Washington, Joe Krown and James Andrews will take the stage at the Eiffel Society on Saturday September 11. Joe Krown and Wolfman have been playing together in an amazing trio for the last couple of years and Kevin And James have been working together non stop for the last 5 years. Combining these two groups was an easy decision to make for O'Day who now books the music at the new Avant-Garde art haven, Eiffel Society. It will be a great time for any fan of live music with the Wolfman and James Andrews leading the way with R&B classics and Jazz hits. Joe Krown has become one of the best, most grooving and soulful B-3 Organists in the city and the rhythm will pop with Kevin and Joe anchoring the band.
