Thanks to everyone who came out to the Leaf Saturday night to help us celebrate Michael Skinkus’ Latin music legacy in New Orleans. It was great to get the band back together (we missed you Brent Rose!)
Might have to do it more often 🎶🔥 This video features our original song ‘Barrio Noveno’ (9th Ward!) and some great musicians (including our brother Michael)
