The New Orleans Suspects – August 11th – Quixotes’ True Blue

Estimated read time 5 min read

The New Orleans Suspects are the newest band of their kind out of New Orleans, and yet is old school in its approach and its lineup. Let’s not mince words here; this band is a super-group by all measures. All you have to do is look at the players’ resumes. The band played a nice mix of NOLA staples and band originals, giving the audience a healthy dose of old and new material. They brought the heat on songs like “Smoke My Peacepipe” and “Sneakin’ Sally” with vocal arrangements that melted like butter on a hot NOLA day.

Dyrty Byrds – Zeitgeist

Estimated read time 3 min read

Dyrty Byrds are known for their straight-no-chaser southern tinged Rock and Roll, and their new album stays true to form. Zeitgeist is guitar heavy and aggressive, but still maintains a certain southern charm. In addition to being axe men, Eric Martinez (Bloodkin), Tori Pater (Polytoxic), and Sam Holt (Outformation) all shared songwriting duties on the album. Having three guitar players enables them to layer different tones and bring many different flavors into the mix but The Dryty Byrds aren’t all guitar.

Jerry Joseph & Wally Ingram – December 8th – The Bluebird Theatre

Estimated read time 6 min read

It was quiet at The Bluebird Theatre last Thursday night when Jerry Joseph & Wally Ingram were on the bill, but it was far from dead. Walking in to the sparsely attended show gave us the feeling of crashing a private party. Everyone seemed to know each other and there was a looseness and intimacy to the entire evening both onstage and off. Throughout the evening the duo focused on a stripped down and raw sound that seemed to come straight from the gut.
