Who here has heard Generationals? Just had a song from them on 91.1 so I looked them up. They are a New Orleans based band and sound pretty good. Anybody follow them?

No they're from New Orleans. Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner both graduated from Jesuit.

They are popular in Nola for sure. They just don't play often. They'd rather play in front of 400 people once every 3 months than 90 people once a month.

To a degree...

That was a quote from Grant the last time I ran into him after touring the rest of the country...

They don't do badly in Nola. At least from what I've seen.

Nt bad, the problem with bands based in New Orleans is most bars they will play at the cove will be very inexpensive so they don't make a lot of money at home. When they go on the road and have a bit of a following the bars charge more. Case in point, at a br like Carrollton Station, when normally at most it may cost $10 to see a goodband, during Jazz Fest that same band will get a $25-$30 cover, due to the fact tourists are in town and are used to paying that for good music. New Orleans' locals are spoiled as they get to hear good music for free or next to nothing.
