I found out that a friend of mine, who is a member of the Nortec Collective, will be in concert at the Santa Monica Pier on Thursday. Free concert, say no more. While I was checking the schedule for the Santa Monica Pier Twilight Dance Series I found the name of an upcoming musical group that intrigued me, Kermit Ruffins Barbecue Swingers. Any group that has the name barbecue in it can’t be all bad. I must admit that I do have the Kermit Ruffins song, Big Easy, in my iTunes library. It was off of the 2004 Festival Sampler from the New Orleans Jazz Festival of that year.
If you like New Orleans music and free concerts, head over and check out Kermit Ruffins Barbecue Swingers on Thursday August 25 at the Santa Monica Pier. Also appearing will be Buckwheat Zydeco and special guest Topsy Chapman.
If you are looking for something to do this Thursday, check out the Nortec Collective.
