Posted by Kevin Allman on Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 3:10 PM
Gambit and the Big Easy Awards Foundation held the 21st annual Big Easy Music Awards Sunday night at Harrah's, and we're still recovering from the fun and some truly great performances. The evening ended with Dr. John (Entertainer of the Year) sitting in with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band (winners of the Music Heritage Award) and Art Neville. Pretty incredible.
