The Dirty Dozen will be headlining the St. Petersburg Day Festival in front of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia on Saturday, May 29th. Very few international concerts have been held at this historic site, as we join the likes of Madonna, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones ... not bad company, we'd say. A bit of history for you, the Palace Square is the central city square of St. Petersburg and the former Russian Empire and was the home of many Russian Czars ... we'll be bringing the sweet sounds of New Orleans into the square for the first time for tens of thousands of Russian citizens. We are honored, to say the least. http://www.ebandlive.com/users/dirtydozenbrassband803/index.php?page=comments&postid=521&encrypt=320d83a18b91128d08ab0c67defd3b77 http://www.ebandlive.com/users/dirtydozenbrassband803/index.php?page=comments&postid=459&encrypt=201c593654a11a277eda088850adc269 We're heading back to Live Oak to kick things off at the Suwanee Springfest tomorrow night before heading to Georgia for shows in Macon and Athens.

We've lost a lot of documents from the band's early history due to the flooding from Katrina, but all of the memories remain. A few boxes made it through the storms and we've decided to share some of these shots with you over the course of the next few months.Take a look in our Pics section and relive the good times! To feel like you’re really there, pop in “My Feet Can’t Fail Me Now,” which you can get by just clicking the box above. We’re so pumped to make new memories with you all, starting March 6th in Georgia at the Downtown Mardi Gras Festival.

Consider it a Super Bowl pre-party...we will be warming everybody up for the hysteria that will ensue on Sunday, February 7th (see below). We're kicking things off at Casbeer's in San Antonio on Thursday, February 4th, before heading to Houston on the 5th and a return to Stubb's in Austin on February 6th. We can't wait to get back to Texas, before heading back to New Orleans for Super Bowl Sunday and celebrating with the hometown folk. We hope to see some old familiar faces as well as plenty of new fans at the shows. http://www.ebandlive.com/users/dirtydozenbrassband803/index.php?page=comments&postid=421&encrypt=b9b154d9f6f3559a2f37a66aa0b72f75 http://www.ebandlive.com/users/dirtydozenbrassband803/index.php?page=comments&postid=395&encrypt=78e8e753dacb9964e7ce335a96fa6c3b Welcome to DDBB 2.0.
