TMP303 BRIAN BRIGNAC'S BAYOU BEAT

1 hour 20 minutes

The Grammy Award-winning drummer, engineer, and producer playing with slide guitar phenom Sonny Landreth for the past 20 years was also with bayou superstar vocalist and accordion player Wayne Toups during the height of his '90s beefcake madness. Coming from a family counting more than 10 drummers among them, he learned his craft as a mere lad. Producing area talent at his Brignac Lane recording studio in Gonzales occupies any free time he has between live shows. Tonight Brian comes up out of the swamp to regale the Troubled Men.

Topics include a forgotten passport, a close call at customs, cruelty, Signalgate, political violence, Lucinda Williams at Chickie Wah Wah, Kraftwerk at the Civic, a bad meal, Jack in the Box, talent shows, teen bands, a drug bust, an orchestral approach, Carl Schexnayder, "Back To The Bayou," James Burton, Harrah's Casino, Charlie Brent, Toto, Yacht Rock, Donald Fagen, Chubby Carrier, Hipboot Joe, Sonny Landreth and Dave Ranson, Cindy Cashdollar, Michael Landau, Gary Novac, Jimmy Buffett, Tony Daigle, a family street, the next generation, and much more.
