The Haberdashery 3.0; ⚜️Mardi Gras 2021 Sunday Porch Concert

CANCELED!!!! . . . 

Dear Lost Souls, 

My apologies for the Haberdite Head Fake . . . but the conditions here in New Orleans are not conducive for a porch concert, and the sound/video guy is not feeling well. That's show business!!! Apparently this Bacchus and Cupid match up is NOT off to a good start! 💘

Have a great Valentine's Day ❤️and a great Mardi Gras! . . . and we will keep you posted on upcoming events.

Dear Lost Souls,

In an extraordinary cosmic alignment, not hither to experienced since the New Kingdom of the Egyptian Empire, and in direct contradiction of their respective associated alignments of celebratory tendencies invoking physical proximity aggregation, 2021 Mardi Gras Sunday this year falls directly on the same day as Valentines Day. . . . wait for it . . .  in the year of COVID. It is as if, in some bawdry and sadistic intersectional theater piece of denied joyful masochism, Bacchus and Cupid meet for the first time in the modern era at the initial convening of their treatment program  . . . well, you get the idea.

'Which all sounds like a 'damn good reason to let yourself cut lose for another epic afternoon of swingin' on the porch with James Williams and the New Orleans Swamp Donkeys. 'Cher, please come and join us for some 2021 Mardi Gras cheer at the The Haberdashery . . . fondly remembering the revelry of years past, and toasting a future when we will all, once again, gather to laugh and love and dance and sing in a sweaty may-lay of shared euphoria that always was, and always will be, the way that it should be.

Yes, my Carnival Carnivores, CAYA is on for this week! The Haberdashery 3.0 is pleased to host the James' Gang for another round of homespun music mayhem.The band will turn on the porch, and light up the street from 3-5pm Central Time, Sunday, ❤️ February 14th, ❤️ (tomorrow). Please grab your valentine, or valentino, or valentina . . . or whatever the hell you are in to! Just find your way there via the eithers all the way to James Williams' FB page . . . or in the physical realm, all the way to 2705 Magazine Street, to join us for an afternoon of music and good cheer.

Please share news about the gig on your networks, and don't forget to show your appreciation, via the tip jar, for these hard working and celebrated New Orleans musician who are missing the back-to-back nonstop gigs of a normal Mardi Gras season that typically helps them pay the bills for the rest of the year. Thank you for tipping the band via their Venmo or PayPal accounts.

Yours,
Los Cabañeros

The Haberdashery 3.0; NOLA Style ⚜️ Porch Concert 1.24.21

  . . . and, we're back . . .

Dear Lost Souls,

It's Mardi Gras season in New Orleans, and though COVID has precipitated the cancelation of most of the festivities, James Williams and the New Orleans Swamp Donkeys are helping The Haberdashery bring some music and light into the world with our very first porch concert this Sunday, January 24th, from 3-5pm Central Time (tomorrow). Please join us virtually through the interwebs on James Williams' FB page for an afternoon of music and good cheer. Mardi Gras cancelations have resulted in VERY hard times for New Orleans' musical culture bearers, so please be generous when you tip the band through the their Venmo or PayPal accounts.

Yes, my Wandering Wondering Wilburys, CAYA is on for this week! Welcome to The Haberdashery 3.0! . . . coming to you from 2705 Magazine Street, in New Orleans' historic Garden District where, in the waining hours of 2020, we settled in for the next chapter of our celestial odyssey of sound, light, and craft cocktails. 'And so dawns a new day . . .  a new era of possibility for our international community of cherished Haberdites . . . vagabonds, ne're-do-wells, and minstrels . . . fellow cosmonauts on our little blue marble, hurtling through the universe towards nowhere . . . but always able to find a bit of precious repose under the dappled shade and shadow of our low expectations and eclectic wishing stars.

⚜️ Laissez les bon temps rouler! ⚜️

Yours,
Los Cabañeros
