Musicians don't allways play in smoky dirty places. They happen to to meet VIP in wonderful places !

We spent three days in the Golfe du Morbihan, for the "Week of the Gulf". The weather was very fine. We had a warm welcome by the team of the Recouvrance ship as the Crédit Agricole du Morbihan, the bank that put on this party.

We invite you to follow us on board by opening the picture book.

Here are a few pics of our april tour in USA :

We met Panama Red in Alabama (Culman) the day of his birthday. Since, the town has been damaged by a tornado.

Let's go to the Appalachia Moutains, to the North, with the bears !

We were honored to play at the Cook Shack, Union Grove, NC, one of the famoust venues of NC. We had a great pleasure playing our songs ans americana covers in front of an audience that know each single word of the songs.

Thanks to the Tourism Office. We heared many bands in a friendly atmosphere. Thanks to the many many people of the Place Albert Parent.

Now we're back home. The summer tour is almost over. It has been very hard this year. Some pics from our last gigs in the south. Nîmes first, "the town with an accent" had invited us for the second time this summer, thursday 08/19. "Buffalo" played some harmonica with us and he kindly sent some pictures. Thanks to him. If you made pics or videos at a concert, please send them to us.

The day after,, gig in Lacanau (private campground),  then Charente, near Nanteuil en Vallée, A very cute place where we were playing for a private party. We were glad to meet again many friends, and, despite of the very high temperature (a Florida feeling) we, and the hundred of people there, will keep wonderful memories of that night : music, love and friendship under the stars. The real thing ! Thanks to Francine and Claude ! Happy Trails !
