Chubby Carrier and The Bayou Swamp Band
I saw Chubby Carrier and Bayou Swamp Band play at an Austin event today and they were terrific. I especially loved the washboard player, who wore his washboard like a chain mail jacket.
Go right now and buy their CD. (I got mine autographed).
I was chatting with the bar's sound guy about them. "They're good," he said. "They're really good. I know. I listen to shit bands all day long."

The Bourbon Street Refugees in a Chicago El station
I met a string band in a Chicago El station today. They're working their way from New Orleans to Oregon.
They told me they've been together for just a short while. When I asked their name, the woman with the fiddle and washboard told me they were called The Bourbon Street Refugees in New Orleans.
That sign says, "TRAVELIN' BAND. HELP US OUT." I gave them a few bucks. Their banjo player is a mandolin player who's been working on his banjo since November. He's a frailer, but said he'd like to give picking another try the next time he gets his hands on some picks. I happened to be carrying some picks (of course) so I donated them to the cause.
They told me I could post a couple of videos, so here they are in all their cell-phone-camera glory.
Good luck on the tour, folks!
