According to Billboard, the HBO show Treme is now spawning a "Treme tour" of New Orleans musicians who have been featured on the show (and at this point, that's everyone except Benny Grunch):
"A Night in Treme" is booked June 10-13 in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C., and will be playing a few festivals in July, August and September. Ann Arbor, Mich., Atlanta, Portland, Ore., and Seattle are likely early stops.The primary participants in the show - Kermit Ruffins, Rebirth Brass Band, Donald Harrison - have been featured in the series, which starts its second season on Apr. 24.
Can a Kermit Ruffins Action Figure be far behind? We hope not.
