Lagniappe: April 7 -13, 2016

Rock ‘n’ roll with the new issue of Lagniappe, your official guide to SouthSounds 2016, a regional music and arts festival scheduled April 8-10 in several venues around downtown Mobile. We have maps, schedules and other need-to-know information, as well as interviews with performers such as The Weeks, Futurebirds, Col. Bruce Hampton, Kristin Diable, Susto and more! The music lineup represents the best up-and-coming music the Southeast has to offer, performing in some of the most intimate venues in town! Our Bay Briefs this week explore such stories as a Daphne man who was recently arrested for publishing expunged court records, an update on the runoff election for state school board and a behind-the-scenes look at how amendments to the city of Mobile’s storage tank ordinance took shape. Cuisine features a hot take on hummus, Arts previews the Mobile Symphony Orchestra’s “A Thousand and One Nights” and music interviews J.J. Gray before his show at O’Daly’s this weekend. Don’t miss the story on 94-year-old WWII vet Kirby B. Evans, who survived German torpedoes and D-Day before settling down in Mobile for a career in newspapers. All the regular commentary, sports and business news is there as usual, and find out what Boozie spied at Erin Go Pawfest last weekend! Turn it up to 11! The new issue of Lagniappe is online and on stands now!
