Yo, Kush, and anybody else interested---take a look at this. You might not see this in time to make it to the annual two-day festival this year, but if you scroll down, there's more info about every-other-Saturdays, and also events on Wednesdays. See y'all there, maybe!

Boogie Woogie Festival in Marshall, Texas
Re: Boogie Woogie Festival in Marshall, Texas
Hi Squidgy,
Marshall, Texas - self-proclaimed cultural capital of East Texas ! Very nice. Will try to be there at some point. I'll likely be in Dallas towards the end of May but it will be a short trip. If possible will swing by Marshall Boogie Woogie.
Have been hearing this jazz band recently called 'New Orleans Helsinki Connection. Check out their album Paradise on Earth.
