Cheers to an extraordinary evening of live tunes, exquisite sips, and moments that will linger in memory at Crescent City Tap!

Last night, we enjoyed a fun evening, performing at Crescent City Tap. The venue was bustling thanks to the heavy promotion and a wine tasting event coinciding with our show—perfect timing! As wine enthusiasts, we always appreciate the chance to drink some new Cabernets that aren’t typically available here. Delicious wine before a show? Count us in every time!

The staff and guests made some extra space for us by moving the massive pool table backward—a true beast to lift. That extra room allowed us to put up our black backdrop curtain, dramatically enhanced with four uplights and complemented by four 4-bars filling the ceiling and performance area with warm, inviting colors. It created exactly the comfortable atmosphere we always aim for.

Our goal with Bell & Field isn’t to be the center of attention but rather to provide the right music to complement good conversation, food, and drinks. As such, we often focus on laid-back tunes that set a relaxed mood—which seemed to be a good fit for the crowd that night. We were excited to debut some classic songs we’ve recently added to our set, including “I Love A Rainy Night” by Eddie Rabbit, “Blue” by the Jayhawks, and the beautiful “Beautiful Boy” by John Lennon.

A highlight for me personally was receiving a special request for “Vienna” by Billy Joel. I love Billy Joel, and also performed, “My Life” and “New York State of Mind” that night. We wrapped up our planned set with Billy Joel’s timeless “Piano Man,” the audience enthusiastically sang along. Inspired by the high spirits, we received a hefty tip to keep the music flowing. We happily continued, choosing crowd-favorites “Brown Eyed Girl” and “Sweet Caroline” to maintain that energy, which is great for closing out a show.

It’s always rewarding to see familiar faces and friends in the audience, adding a personal touch to each performance. Additionally, it was great to meet some new staff members who contributed positively to the welcoming atmosphere. I even had a chance to reconnect with someone who had hired me for a solo backyard party event years ago. Hopefully, their next event will include both of us as Bell & Field!

Thanks again to everyone who joined us and made the evening special. We’re excited to return to Crescent City Tap on May 16. Mark your calendars—we can’t wait to share another wonderful evening filled with good friends, great music, and maybe even some more delicious wine!
