Honey Island Swamp Band at Tipitina's

As Tipitina's hosts Honey Island Swamp Band for a 20th-anniversary show, the five-piece brings its song-first approach to the stage. Aaron Wilkinson, Lee Yankee, Sam Price, Chris Spies, and Garland Paul weave blues, roots, country, and soul into an elastic, melody-driven sound that has been described as Bayou Americana. Special guests Kirk Joseph, Mark Mullins, Brad Walker, and more join the band for the occasion.

The group first came together in San Francisco after being displaced from New Orleans by Katrina, then returned home and became a fixture of the city's roots scene. With a catalog that includes albums like Cane Sugar and Demolition Day, the band draws on touchstones from George Jones to Little Feat while still sounding like its own thing. Expect a natural, song-driven night in a classic New Orleans music room.
