I know, I know … this is old news … since it seems like spring came early all over the world; especially here in the states. Here in Nashville, February felt like March; March felt like May and April … well, it kinda feels like April (and that’s a good thing)
This is the [...]

Orleans with Felix Cavaliere this Friday !!!
Last Friday’s gig in Clearwater, FL was a success on all counts.
It was great to welcome back John Hall to the stage for that particular show.

So Sorry About Ridgefield :-(
It’s another gorgeous summer/fall day here in Nashville … one in a series that has visited us all week long. And, to be honest, there are a lot of things I’d prefer to be doing other than sitting at this computer, writing this blogpost. But it’s been SUCH a long time since I last wrote [...]
We’ve been keeping a few secrets :-)
So … we’ve been keeping a few secrets lately.
Some have already found this one, which slipped unannounced into the OrleansOnline.com store about a week ago.
Orleans: Then and Now … greatest hits and MORE! is a brand new compilation of all the A-list stuff that people ask for all the time at the live shows. It just made [...]
Larry releases “One of the Lucky Ones” CD
Larry Hoppen’s newest collection is a project that spans many years. Enhancing / redoing some of the tracks from his 1996 Looking For the Light CD, adding NEW songs, then mixing and remastering it all as one album yields a VERY listenable and satisfying group of tunes!
The band includes Tony Levin (bass), David Sancious (keys) and [...]
