Highland Jazz & Blues Festival promises great entertainment in Historic Columbia Park
The 7th annual Highland Jazz and Blues Festival welcomes the "Gourds," fresh from live performances on Austin City Limits, to Columbia Park in Shreveport on Saturday, Nov. 13.
The Gourds, a rockabilly-country-bluegrass group with blues roots, has released nine CD's, their latest called "Haymaker" in 2009. In addition to appearances on Austin City Limits, the Gourds are popular performers at Austin's national music showcase SXSW.
Quirky and entertaining, the group's songs include a twangy remake of Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" and the offbeat "I Ate the Haggis." The Gourds will headline the festival on the Pavilion Stage beginning at 4 p.m.
The lineup for the two stages showcases some of the best in regional sounds. The schedule for the Pavilion Stage (the stage closest to Creswell Avenue) includes Robin and the Bluebirds from noon-12:45 p.m., AJ and the Two Tone Blues Band from 1-1:45 p.m., last year's rave fave AJ Haynes and the Monkey Business from 2-2:45 p.m., Total Choice playing cool jazz from 3-3:45 p.m., and headliner, the Gourds, beginning at 4 p.m.
