Every now and then on the road, you come upon a place that has simply "got it." Lizotte's in Newcastle is one such place. Brian Lizotte has been a professional caterer to rock n' rollers for years. Weary of the the road, he has pursued his vision of creating a venue which features a dynamic blend of visual, aural and taste sensations. His motto is that "the touring musician runs on his stomach" and he couldn't be more correct. "If you guys are happy, then everyone else is too" he said to me. His establishment is in a very unassuming area of town and occupies a hundred-year-old theater turned supper club. The food, the wine (esp. the white) and the staff were extremely accommodating. We were pleased that this tour brought us to Lizotte's twice to perform our "long set" sans Michael and Boz. You guys missed out!!
At the end of the second night, we reached for instruments which adorned the wall and had a brief and humorous "blowing session." I would love to see a place like this on Maui. We desperately need a world class supper club. Any ideas?
Yes!
