The Honey Island Swamp Band: Out Of The Swamp

These are the guys who had to leave their New Orleans hometown in the face of Hurricane Katrina and, by pure happenstance, met in San Francisco to form this Honey Island Swamp Band. It’s a joyous sound filled with chugging rhythms, Cajun flavor and right-on-time vocals. They’ll be bringing their particular flavor of Cane Sugar (Louisiana Red Hot Records) to The Lizzie Rose Music Room Sept. 1 in Tuckerton, NJ, The Sellersville Theater (PA) Sept. 2 and The Cutting Room in New York City Sept. 3. If you hit the PA venue, buy me a drink, willya?
