Haley and NOJO perform Led Zeppelin, Queen & Nirvana Nov. 13, 2014

^^ I would assume they won't Tusk because Ireland is taking it's toll on them time & money-wi$e and because it's not really a milestone show. They were in New Orleans a year ago and Harry would have to take off from his day job for this midweek show. Although Nov. 13 is almost Harry's Birthday so who knows.

That's true, I'm sure they'd be settling back down from their overseas flight, than to catch a flight again to NOLA... Then again, I beg to differ, it is a 'Milestone' show.... Led Zeppelin, Nirvana & Queen, three ICONIC bands in Rock and Roll history, being performed in New Orleans by their Jazz infused son, Irvin Mayfield....

You add a little Haley Reinhart Sunshine and Grit.... Don't know about you, but that's pretty damn awesome if not a Milestone

The Rock and Roll coursing through Harry's blood might find that irresistible if there was any chance he could pull it off

I hope she's the main singer this time around. Undoubtedly, Irvin will add other performers as he did in Chi and NY, to maximize interest. I hope Haley sings at least 5 songs

I had put "if they can" disclaimer in my earlier statement because I had been thinking of the Ireland trip.

But they wouldn't necessarily have to fly -- there is the train. That might not be too much less (and probably a lot of extra time).

On the other hand, they could be (aurally) envisioning what I am and will stay home.

Just heard back from Harry, they won't be able to make this show

Haley told us about this classic rock-jazz union and it sounds like it'll be really fun

It would be really nice if Haley had the opportunity to sing five songs. This stuff is right up her alley -- classic rock, jazz fusion. It's a smaller venue and hopefully they won't add other singers.

It just struck me how much Haley's mother looks like Piper from Charmed (now Aria's mother on Pretty Little Liars) Holly Marie Combs. Easy to see why Haley's so pretty.

Anyway..I hope we get some great videos.

Love you Tusk.

"milestone" wasn't my best word choice. For a time & money challenged parent, and without Angie able to experience it with them, this isn't quite the same prestige of the first show with Irvin & NOJO at Carnegie Hall or a classic Hometown Venue like the Iconic Chicago Theatre. I admire you for having the resources to show Haley your devoted support and I'm sure it will be a very rewarding experience for you.

No, the Hard Rock Cafe does not compare to Carnegie Hall (and the 1st time with NOJO), nor does it have the convenience of local, iconic theater. And with a trip to Ireland on the agenda it makes sense that this is a show that Harry and Patti would need to pass on. But it could be a really special show, perhaps a milestone of sorts, with Haley singing rock songs with NOJO playing. She can relax and let go in ways we might not have seen in previous appearances with NOJO.

I think this show is perfect for her with rock, blues, and jazz all rolled into one night! She will have lots of fun

Searching YouTube for "'irvin mayfield' nojo 'rock and roll'" didn't yield anything of note. In any case, this is a "Jazz tribute" to LZ, Queen and Nirvana. So it's probably going to be Jazz-like. Especially if there are not guitars.

edit: The opening act plays guitars and their sound is not Jazz.

FB comment:

The Breton Sound is one of the best rock bands to ever come out of New Orleans, catchy songs, great singing, shredding playing.
Check it out if you rock.

They are funding an album on Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-b...ird-record

I don't think anyone's posted about it on Instagram, already had a couple 'non Haley' fans of Zeppelin and Nirvana like it

Well we know one Nirvana song they'll cover,

Can you imagine a #Jazz version of #ItSmellsLikeTeenSpirit? Hear it 11/13! @HOBNOLA: @IrvinMayfieldJr+@nolaNOJO http://tinyurl.com/adqr86y

A little concerning that the last couple retweets from Irvin about this event doesn't include Haley.

Still holding out hope for at least 5 songs for Haley
