Doors 4:00pm • Music 5:30pm

The Occasional Saints play New Orleans Swing, Roots and Blues, featuring the original songs of keyboard player P.V. Nunes.

Frank DeBlase says- “Paul Nunes' hands dance effortlessly up and down the 88's in a powerful polydactyl boogie. It's a sound of big ease, of Louisiana bump and sparkle with dashes of jazz and pop mirth. It's beautiful; it's sanctified.…. There's no brassy fanfare or histrionics, just appropriate, spot-on renderings as required. They don't show off. At the center is Nunes, as he nurses a narrative full of New Orleans nectar from the piano like a less sardonic Randy Newman or Tom Waits on a chocolate milk bender. He sings matter-of-factly and prefers to showcase the band than to be considered the front man.”

The Band- P.V. Nunes on Keyboards and Vocals; Rick McRae on Trombone; Mark Bradley on Sax; Jerry Laufer on Blues Harp; Carmen Verzillo on Lead Guitar; Jay Chaffee on Bass; Michael Verzillo on Drums
