Bayou gone country next Memorial Day weekend

I met Quint Davis today; he's the man behind the New Orleans Jazz Fest, and he's turned his networking prowess to bear on Baton Rouge, which will host a first-ever music festival at LSU's mammoth Tiger Stadium next Memorial Day weekend.

Read about the debut of the Bayou Country Superfest via the Baton Rouge Business Report. The biz community in bayou country sure is excited about the projected $23 million local economic impact of the superfest. Personally, I'd rather tune into rootsy alt-country a la Hank Wiliams III or Ryan Adams than the pop stars on the upcoming bill, but c'est la vie.
