AudibleTreats reports: Following 5 sold-out sessions and a write-up in the New York Times, it's become increasingly more difficult to get into a session of Indie Night School.

But instead of a well deserved respite at home, Buckwheat Zydeco will head first for Nashville and then New York City -- which will virtually become a New Orleans in exile for at least a couple of weeks in September.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
