“Big Al and the Heavyweights rolled into Buckingham Blues Bar smoldering hot. It did not take long before flames of music engulfed the crowd resulting in dancing, clapping and cheering. It was a Big treat to experience such fine Louisiana talent. Looking forward to a repeat occurrence soon.” - Tara Lagrande
