I am so looking forward to the week ahead. This Thursday, May 24th, I’ll be heading up to Shreveport, LA to play the Mudbug Madness Festival. This festival started in 1984 when a group of friends who were tired of being accused of being more Texan than Louisianian decided to start a festival to prove that they weren’t. This festival has grown to be one of the largest city sponsored events in Louisiana. This is my second year to play the event, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to go back again, this year. On Thursday, we will play the opening set at 4:30 followed by the great Wayne Toups at 7:00. I am looking forward to seeing some friends and family there.
I don’t have any gigs lined up for the weekend, but I am going to help out the Midnight Ramblers at Aucoin’s in Hayes this Saturday night. I’ll be playing guitar. Other than that, taking it easy. After this weekend, I’m on summer break, and I get busy with the gigs, starting with MudBug Madness on Thursday the 24th.
If you are a fan of American Idol and Joshua Ledet, this weekend you will have the opportunity to see him live in concert. Josh has made it to the top three and is rewarded with a hometown visit and concert. My buddy, Brandon Ledet will be opening up for his cousin, as well as Terrance Simien. If you missed out on the free ticket giveaways, last night, then you are out of luck.
Been working on some new songs. In about two weeks, I’ll be free to go into the studio to lay down some demo tracks to work out the arrangements. Hopefully, I be able to lay down the real stuff before the end of the year.
I’ve been working really hard trying to get summer gigs lined up. I think it is finally coming together. www.ganeyarsement.com/gigs

Myself and the LakeSide Gamblers will be returning to the Regatta Restaurant in Lake Arthur, this weekend. Put on your best clothes, grab your partner, call some friends and head on over for a great time. They have great food, a wonderful dining atmosphere, and we will be playing all your favorite Cajun and Zydeco tunes.
