I’m Outta Here
Mike Darby & The House of Cards
Mike Darby and the House of Cards Band
started in 2007, playing gigs in a small New
Orleans bar called Check-Point Charlie on
Saturdays.
Checkpoint Charlie501 Esplanade Ave.
New Orleans
Since they didn't come on until at least until 2 a.m., locals referred to this madness as "Darby till Dawn" or "Sunday School with Reverend Mike Darby."
Playing these late night gigs turned out to be a big plus in the band's
development.
"There was a lot of freedom playin' at Checks, and we had time to get our chops up and work out the songs."
drummer Tony Frickey
The House of Cards includes Mike Darby with CaryB (vocals/bass) ….
and Nervous Duane (bass sax),
with Clarence “Trixzey” Slaughter on alto saxophone, and brother William
Slaughter playing trumpet.
Whether they’re playing at Checks, the Apple Barrel on Frenchmen or anywhere else in the Big Easy, Mike Darby and the House of
Cards are always a crowd favorite.
“Their mix of hard rock, blues and traditional New Orleans jazz has established Mike Darby and the House of Cards as one of the Crescent City's favorite bar bands.”
