After celebrating 40 years of Downtown Alive! with Wayne Toups, come on over to The Grouse Room tonight for soulful blues and folk from Grammy-nominee Andrew Duhon with special guest Roddie Romero 🎤

New Orleans native Andrew Duhon wrote his latest album Emerald Blue from the inspiration he sought and received from travels to the Pacific Northwest. A keen eye for details and the songwriting chops to write what others see but can’t say, he’s a songwriter, a historian of today, in the truest form. His ability to absorb, process, and apply personal experiences to the ever elusive universal is a defining element of his career so much so that No Depression called him “a soulmate of Van Morrison, lyrically and vocally.” Emerald Blue is Duhon’s fourth studio album with GRAMMY nominated producer, Trina Shoemaker. Duhon’s previous albums (Songs I Wrote Before I Knew You, The Moorings, False River) were critically acclaimed by Rolling Stone who pointed out his “soulful croon” and Uproxx declared his voice one that “you could spend the whole day lost in.” His second album, The Moorings was nominated for a GRAMMY for best engineered album in 2013.

Honey Island Swamp Band at The Grouse Room this Saturday!

The Crescent City Connection Series is back at The Grouse Room this Saturday with Honey Island Swamp Band! From the pristine waters of the Honey Island Swamp, to the vibrant streets of New Orleans, to the hazy corner of Haight-Asbury in San Francisco, this band has endured devastation, relocation and revitalization.

Honey Island Swamp Band formed in San Francisco, CA via New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina displaced the founding members. With little hope of returning to their beloved city, the band channeled the blues and emotions of their circumstances to develop a soulful style and sound that critics have compared to legendary Blues-Roots-Rock Artists such as The Allman Brothers, Little Feat and The Band.

Andrew Duhon returns to The Grouse Room!

GRAMMY-nominee Andrew Duhon is set to take the stage at The Grouse Room tomorrow night, showcasing his undeniable talent as a singer-songwriter. Duhon's latest album, Emerald Blue, is a testament to his creative spirit and ability to find inspiration in unexpected places. Having temporarily left his longtime home of New Orleans in 2019, Duhon found himself drawn to the Pacific Northwest and its vibrant colors, particularly the shade he describes as "emerald blue." This new perspective is reflected in the album, which features eleven thoughtfully crafted songs that examine the familiar in the context of the unfamiliar. Duhon worked with a talented team of musicians and collaborators to bring Emerald Blue to life, recording the album at Louisiana's Dockside Studios with the help of GRAMMY-award winning engineer Trina Shoemaker.

TONIGHT 🪗 Terry & The Zydeco Bad Boys bring their traditional zydeco sound to The Grouse Room! Terry Domingue grew up in in the heart of French Louisiana. Coming of age in this hotbed of Cajun and Creole culture, he developed a passion for zydeco which he first heard at Creole Cowboy trail rides he attended with his father. At these community gatherings, four-year-old Terry would stand at the foot of the stage, enthralled by the accordion. After teaching himself to play, Terry got his first accordion at the age of eight.

In 2001, he formed his own band, Terry & the Zydeco Bad Boys, carrying deeply traditional zydeco into the 21st century, holding true to the genre’s roots though traditional instrumentation, two-step and waltz rhythms, and French lyrics highlighting the trials and joys of life in Creole Louisiana.

The band has become a favorite of zydeco fans everywhere, and continues to earn praise for playing some of the most interesting zydeco today, both highly innovative and deeply respectful of tradition. In addition to Creole influences, Terry draws upon Cajun music, plus nods to swamp pop, R&B ballads, and more.

He proudly sings both traditional and original compositions in French, and has recorded zydeco classics by legends like Boozoo Chavis and John Delafose. For Terry, playing this music serves a higher purpose. “Music, to me, is my therapy,” he explains. “When I get on stage, I forget about all my troubles and free my soul.”
