the Zydecajun style of Wayne Toups. I think Seeing Wayne at my very first JFest
in 1994 changed my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stay in the
Acadiana grove with Steve Riley or check out 3 distinctly different sounds at
about the same time: Laura Mvula, Brass-a-Holics, and Honey Island Swamp Band.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take a break with the cool sophisticated
stylings of Sasha Masakowski at Lagniappe (that’s the stage with seating!)
before checking out not your typical rock star, Shamarr Allen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Check out the interview of Carlos Santana
3:15-4 in the Grandstand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s Eric
Lindell next and my “Under-the Radar” pick, The Infamous Stringdusters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Close out with Aurora Nealand and 2 classic
sides of American music – Public Enemy or Santana!</span></div>

Tonight the Ogden has <span style="color: #351c75; font-weight: bold;">Gal Holiday and the Honky Tonk Review. </span>Gal Holiday and the Honky Tonk Revue is a country swing band from New Orleans that incorporates original material with the best of country, rockabilly and western swing classics. Singer, Vanessa Newman's vocal range glides seamlessly from a dreamy Patsy Cline to a gritty, hard-edged Johnny Cash, with a twang of country reverence for Merle Haggard and Bob Wills.<br />
*Be sure to head on over to the bar for this month's signature drink - <b style="color: #351c75;">Summer Cooler -- </b>A rejuvenating blend of vodka, apricot nectar, basil-infused simple syrup, lemon juice and soda water..
