I am seeing young blues prodigy, Kingfish, on Thursday night at an outdoor venue. I am seeing Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band on Saturday night at an indoor venue, Ground Zero, which is part owned by Morgan Freeman.
I know nothing about the musician of the same name, but I just wanted to point out that growing up in Louisiana helped me immediately recognize Kingfish as the nickname for Huey Long. At one point, I went to school with one of his descendants.
I sometimes miss that part of the country very much. It's been a little over a decade since I've been to N'awlins, but this fest is in Mississippi, right? I'd guess Clarksdale or nearby.
