Never let your fire go out

This is it. The end of the line after 33 years for The Radiators comes this week. But not before a three-night run at Tipitina’s billed as “The Last Watusi”. Should be quite a scene in that place and a bittersweet send off to one of the greatest acts to call New Orleans home. If you weren’t able to snag tix to the Rads last hurrah, there are plenty of great options in town this week. Galactic doing a free show in the Square on Wednesday and Joe Krown Trio offering another freebie at The Wolf on Saturday night. Get out there.
