We are planning another amazing party at our haberdashery for the end of this month. While we are still working out the details we thought it would be fun to post some more pictures of party people enjoying our most recent event “Bourbon, Blues and Blue Jeans.”

Friday was a glorious night of live music, denim discussions, b Now that the party libation has cleared our systems we can give a proper recount of our blues bash last Friday.

We want to thank our supporters, and Paxton and Fairfield whose music have powers to transport us through time the way our creations aspire to do.

Thanks to Daniel Landerman for the photos and video.

What a duo: Frank Fairfield and Blind Boy Paxton

It took a while for us to find blues deep enough to match ours. They came in the form of music played by Paxton and Fairfield, an amazing blues duo. Their tunes take us back to a time when working folks sang their troubles away, or tried to anyway. The moment we heard their raw, haunting music we knew we had to have them grace our haberdashery with their soulful energy. This Friday starting 6:30PM they will adorn 107 S. Fair Oaks Avenue with original raw blues from their fiddle, banjo, and– with any luck–empty moonshine jugs. For a preview check out their MySpace pages (links below) and YouTube videos.
