Creole du Nord at Passport Restaurant, Ann Arbor, January 23

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

I just received an email from Mark Palms of Creole du Nord. His band (Creole du Nord) is playing at the Passport Restaurant and Lounge at 3776 S. State St. in Arbor, MI, on Sunday, January 23. Go and check it out! This is what the email said:

COME DANCE TO THE HAPPIEST MUSIC ON EARTH with “Mark Palms & Creole du Nord”! CAJUN, ZYDECO, SWING, LINE DANCE w/instruction. SUNDAY, JANUARY 23 (6-8pm) at the Passport Restaurant & Lounge, 3776 S. State St., Ann Arbor, MI, 48108.

Fun! Fun! Fun! Great exercise! Make new friends! Singles welcome! All ages welcome! “I’ve never danced before” welcome!

I must confess to never having been to the Passport Restaurant, but from their web page it looks like they specialize in international cuisine. It also appears they’re trying to have some regular dance events. So go and check it out and send me a report on the event! (I’m still under the weather and so won’t be able to attend.)

Also, just to mark your calendars, Creole du Nord is playing at The Ark in Ann Arbor on Friday, February 25.

Cajun jam at Alber’s Orchard

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Mark Palms of Creole du Nord likes to have a lot of Cajun jam sessions, and in the autumn he likes to have some of them at the Alber Orchard & Cider Mill out near Manchester, MI. The next jam is Sunday, September 26, noon to 3:00 pm. Unfortunately, Mark won’t be able to make it (nor will I), but y’all could have fun playing along (or even just listening). While you’re at it, Alber’s has some real fine cider, apples, and even donuts!

Alber’s is at 13011 Bethel Church Road, Manchester, MI. You can find them on Mapquest or any other online mapping service.

There are more Cajun jam sessions at Alber’s on October 3, 10, 24, & 31.
