RITES OF PASSAGE

About Me

Rites of Passage was formed 15 years ago on the front porch of the Ski Lodge in Fat City by Van Hudson and Paul Ferguson. After playing "Closer to Fine" by the Indigo Girls, Van and Paul learned that they harmonized exceptionally well together. They started playing gigs in and around the city in bars and coffeehouses, little by little expanding their song list. One of the gigs they eventually started playing was a small bar on Decatur Street in the French Quarter called The Kerry Irish Pub. Soon after getting that gig, a third member was added. Amy Hudson joined the band and brought a whole new sound. They play a wide variety of music from 80's, Irish, country, to their very popular Beatles Tribute show. {}
