New Orleans has long been known as a mecca for music. From jazz to rap, you’ll find it here. Last Saturday evening we visited a local establishment, The Recovery Room, just across Jefferson Highway from the Ochsner Medical Center. I’ve long wondered about the place and what it might be like. My curiosity was cured when we walked into exactly what I expected….the perfect local hangout, pool tables and all.
We went to hear the band of a friend play and we were not disappointed! Five Card Stud performed some of the best classic country music I’ve heard live in a long time. Lead singer, Daniel Rongey, has a George Strait quality that the famous songster even commented on when he heard Daniel perform years back.
Other members of the band include Jason Schell, also of “Refried Confuzion” fame, Clay Diamond, Ron Clark and Matt Hughes. The group provided toe tapping music that would defy anyone to just sit still! We heard a bit of the blues, some classic rock ala The Allman Brothers band and a ballad or two to slow things down. The band also performed several of their own compositions that impressed us all. Five Card Stud is definitely helping keeping country music alive and kicking in NOLA!
Here’s a sample of the band’s work if you’d like to have a listen! I suspect we’ll all be hearing more about Five Card Stud! Visit their website here: http://fivecardstudlive.com/…Like them on Facebook too! If you’re in New Orleans and want to hear Five Card Stud live you’ll find them at Rivershack Tavern 8/28 at 8:00pm and at Colby’s Cocktails on the 29th at 8:00 pm as well.

Everything composed was very reasonable. However,
think on this, suppose you were to write a killer
title? I ain’t saying your content isn’t good., however suppose you added a title that makes people desire more?I mean The Permanent Tourist » It’s No Card Game is a little plain.
You might peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news titles to grab viewers interested.
You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab people excited about everything’ve
got to say. In my opinion, it might make your posts a
little livelier.
