Fifty Weddings in Fifty States

It’s kickoff time for Duke Baxter’s fifty-state project Interstate Soul! Our first "state gig" is in Vermont this weekend.

I’ve been playing with the Duke Baxter Band since 2004, and I can tell you this is a great band with a fun act composed of solid musicians and excellent people. I’ll also say that you’d be hard pressed to match the energy and excitement of a live eight-piece soul band with a three-piece horn section at a wedding reception. Sorry, DJ’s!

We cooked up this fifty-state idea last winter, and it’s such a great idea we’ve been rolling with it ever since. We’re looking to line up 10 gigs or so in 2010, probably focusing on the northeast, so if you know anyone who’s getting married… We plan on publishing a book and producing a documentary film. Follow our progress on the Interstate Soul blog.
