Ronnie Fruge @ Larriveres
If you follow this blog, (and why wouldn't you?), you know that lakelizardmusic is a big fan of Ronnie Fruge: cajun picker, songwriter, entertainer. Ronnie has got a gig at Larriveres in Mt Juliet, Tn every Friday night from 6-9...and on Thursday nights he alternates between the Gallatin and Mt Juliet restaurant/bar. It'd be a safe bet on Thursday to call and check, 'cause I can see that being a little confusing...but Friday, Mt Juliet for sure. Me and NancyO and Tattoo and the little redheaded girl caught his show last night...what a treat! It was the first time I'd seen Ronnie since the days up at Krooners. Here he's playing solo acoustic and putting on a helluva show. If you're a relocated Lousianian, he's sure to bring a little of home to you. If you're a songwriter, he's sure to inspire you. If you're a guitar picker, he's sure to make you want to put your guitar on Craigslist.
Oh and if you're waiting for him to take a break, you won't find it...he played straight from 6-9.
I can see this turning into a big thing as time goes along and more folks find it, so get in and see him early so you can say, "I remember when it wasn't this crowded here."
Cold budlight, catfish poboy, and good music from a truly nice guy who puts his heart and soul in every song. Good Friday night outting. Take somebody you like...they'll thank you for it!
...and for god's sake, when he sings "Going Back to Big Mamou"...sing along!

Ronnie Fruge is the Man...Besides the great music & guitar playing the stories he tells about talking dogs,big birds and spaceships with little green men in between songs are great becouse of the way he tells them in his cajun way.

The little red headed girl and I loved seeing Ronnie. It reminded me of the first time I saw Ronnie at the Frosty Factory in Lake Charles, LA in 1999, I think. Been listening to them Ronnie CD's since that time. Great to hear him in person again with Uncle H and Nancy O. Ronnie's music makes you feel good to your soul. And I did sing along to Going back to Big Mamou.
