You are hereby invited to experience some of the best music on planet Earth in one of the most intimate venues in the Crescent City!
As part of our Fest-O-Matic series, we are beyond thrilled to bring you “Louisiana Calling,” a 3-night residency by one of the finest slide guitar players to ever pick up the instrument…Lafayette’s own Sonny Landreth!
Bonnie Raitt calls him, “one of the most astonishing guitarists I know.” Eric Clapton says, ““Sonny Landreth is probably the most underestimated musician on the planet, and also probably one of the most advanced.”
With multiple Grammy nominations and credits that include Clifton Chenier, Jimmy Buffett, John Mayall and John Hiatt, Sonny has been lighting up stages around the world for decades. And we are blessed that he chose Chickie Wah Wah as the place to do a residency with some of his favorite musicians in South Louisiana. Each night will feature another artist handpicked by Sonny starting with a full set of their own music, and then Sonny closing the show with a set of his own.
Thursday, April 25 we are lucky to have a fixture of the New Orleans music scene for over two decades, the Iguanas. Blending Tejano and Conjunto sounds from the Texas/Mexico border region with Blues, Jazz and New Orleans R&B, and the fiery passion of the music of the Caribbean and Mexico, Sonny and the Iguanas are going to kick off an epic start to the series!
On Friday, 4/26, Sonny will be joined by fellow Lafayette legends Tommy McLain and C.C. Adcock. Tommy has been inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame and his singing and playing are still incredible after 60+ years in the business! As fans of Louisiana music know, anything can happen when C.C. Adcock takes the stage, and after Sonny’s set we’ll be lucky if we make it through to Saturday night!
Wrapping up the series, Sonny will be joined on Saturday, 4/27, with fellow Lafayette rockers (and Grammy nominee) Roddie Romero and Michael Juan Nunez. These guys are the cream of the crop when it comes to authentic Louisiana music and you would be doing yourself a horrible disservice by missing this show. Don’t do that to yourself!
All of the shows in this series are going to be absolute stand-out highlights in a jam packed Jazzfest season, so get your tickets now and get ready to rock!
