I'll be a featured soloist for this all-star show!

"Papa Lebas & Gumbo Ya Ya makes their majickal return to the Rams Head On Stage to celebrate multiple album releases, beginning with the band’s debut album, Naptown to NOLA, which will be available for the first time on vinyl. In addition, three band members have recent albums: New Orleans piano master and Kenny Wayne Shepherd sideman Joe Krown’s Qualified, International Zydeco Ambassador Corey Arceneaux’s Accordion Man, and multi-reed instrumentalist Seth Kibel’s Clarinet Without a Net. But the celebrations don’t end there, as every Papa performance is a party. Led by songwriter, producer, guitarist & bassist Jeff Muller (aka Papa Lebas), the project is a New Orleans-inspired earthy gumbo of funk, R&B, jazz, blues, zydeco, Cajun, brass band, and more—and a love letter to the power of community. Papa Lebas & Gumbo Ya Ya was launched last year with the album Naptown to NOLA which features 63 performers from Louisiana and the DMV including such notable musicians as Ivan Neville, George Porter Jr., Bill Summers, Chubby Carrier, Tommy Malone, Ron Holloway, Tommy Lepson, Deacon John, Leroy Jones, and many more. Like last year’s show, this one will feature a high-powered band of all star performers at the top of their game bringing the songs from the albums, along with other New Orleans gems, to life. Joe Krown is making the trip up from New Orleans for the show, joining some of the DMV’s finest and favorite musicians: Louisiana native Corey Arceneaux, Rahsaan “Wordslave” Eldridge (Honest Lee Soul), Meg Murray (Songbird Collective, Cyphers Band), Doug Woolverton (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Beginnings), Seth Kibel (Daryl Davis Band), Chris Watling (The Grandsons, King Soul), Noah Pierre, Matt Tebo (Shari Puorto Band), and perhaps a special guest or two. Come out, join the party, and let your spirit soar!"

"ALBUM RELEASE CELEBRATION!

The Old Part of Town return to Manor Mill for a third time, with another special performance. This time they're celebrating the release of their brand new live double-album, "A Night On The Town" ꟷ some of which was recorded right here! Playing their eclectic blend of roots-Americana, folk-rock, country-blues, and bluegrass, and showcasing tight harmonies, tasteful musicianship, and standout songwriting, the band features singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Matt Douglass and Sam Nitzberg, Lynn Kasdorf on pedal steel, Dave Frieman on upright bass, and Steve Raskin on drums.

They'll have plenty of copies of the new album for sale (along with their other four), and a few guests sitting in, including Talbot Mayo, Tom Chalkley, and Seth Kibel.

Their first show here was sold out, and the second one was just shy of that, so reserve your seats early."
