ABOUT THE REVELERS:

The Revelers have been bringing their party around the world for nearly 10 years. With their long-awaited follow up to 2016’s Grammy-nominated record, the band has taken their place firmly at the top of a game where they make the rules. The brash blasts of the accordion, the shuffle of feet, the wailing vocals in old French…

The sound of Cajun music is well known through the United States and abroad. But for Louisiana-based band The Revelers, it’s just the start of the story. Headquartered in the city of Lafayette in Southwest Louisiana’s Cajun Country (New Orleans is home to jazz, but not a native home to Cajun music), the band is dedicated to the “holy trinity” of Cajun culture: hot music, all-night dancing, and great food.

But they’re determined to explore the larger world of Louisiana music as well, and with their new album, The End of the River (Au bout de la rivière), they’re tapping into their deep lifetimes of knowledge of Swamp Pop, Zydeco, and old-school Louisiana dancehall music. They’ve synthesized all of these different traditions into a new sound, their own sound.

ABOUT LENNY MARCUS & THE BIG EASY

Jazz Times Magazine has described Lenny Marcus’ music as “Infectious!” No wonder, since Lenny worked for many years in New Orleans studying and performing with legends such as Ray Bryant, Ellis Marsalis, and Alvin Batiste. He has a strong blues-oriented left hand, thanks to Bryant. Lenny possesses a superior melodic imagination and highly developed arranging and orchestration skills that become palpable throughout a diversity of styles-swinging, cool, sophisticated, toe-tapping, high energy as well as beautifully contemplative and engaging.

Lenny has performed in three New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fest, Spoleto, Barbados, and Grenada Jazz festivals in addition to appearing four times in Wash DC at the famed Blues Alley with his trio.

Lenny’s Big Easy Project features an eclectic mix of funk, jazz, blues, shuffles, all the wonderful beats and grooves that came from Marcus’ experience playing music down in the deep South.
