When not on the road, Meters bassist George Porter Jr. and drummer Johnny Vidacovich hold down a weekly Thursday residency at New Orleans’ Maple Leaf. Dubbed The Trio, each week a different guest musician—usually from the funk, jazz or jam worlds—joins the rhythm section during their performances.

The Maple Leaf will remain dark this evening for Christmas Eve, but Vidacovich has confirmed a special Christmas Day Trio show at The Maple Leaf. This incarnation of The Trio will feature Vidacovich, Papa Grows Funk/Wild Magnolias guitarist
June Yamagishi and Royal Southern Brotherhood bassist Charlie Wooten. The show will kick off at 11pm.
