George Porter Jr. - bass
Mike Lemmler - keys, vocals
Terrence Houston - drums
Chris Ekins - guitar, vocals

This was billed as a trio, and George Porter Jr. is in fact touring with a trio, but at the very end he thanks Chris Ekins(sp?) on guitar and vocals, so at least some of the show was a quartet. Tickets were $15, $20 at the door, with $1 going to The New Orleans Musicians Clinic, https://neworleansmusiciansclinic.org/. If you like what you hear, consider throwing in another dollar?

This recording suffers from an overloaded bass line, possibly due to a blown speaker on stage. The levels on the recording were fine, but the problem may have been at the recorder, instead. The effect has been reduced through some careful EQ, but you'll probably enjoy this more in your car or while working out, rather than through headphones.

Enjoy!
