There are a few places that have early band venues.
Superior Grill and La Caretta, both in mid-city. Both start about 6:30 or so and finish by 10 or 11, mostly Th-Sat. They don't usually have your cuting edge artists and a lot of it is covers, but every now and then you get some originals from the likes of Tom Coerver or Kirk Holder. There are a lot of good musicians in this town, but unfortunately there are only so many venues for original music and most of the crowds are only sophisticated enough for the run of the mill cover band. I was actually asked to play some "back that a** up music" as a request...to a 3 piece rock, blues and originals band!

If you ask me, the talented keyboardist is the base of the funk. Matt Doran plays with some of the best artists in town and is unsung hero on recordings from Chris Leblanc, Andy Pizzo, Michael Ward, and Tom Coerver. He backs up Kirk Holder, New World Funk and Phat Hat as well as Wes Anderson. Matt's a busy guy and any band that has him has the mojo!

What about "Goin' South"? Don't forget that Tom has some of the areas finest musicians backing him up!
