Bayou Boogaloo Music Festival | New Orleans, LA May 23-24th 2008

At 7:00PM on the Orleans Stage we are lucky enough to have one of the best singer/songwriters around, Lynn Drury.


Lynn’s powerful wail and sultry singing have been compared to such performers as Lucinda Williams, Bonnie Raitt, Rickie Lee Jones, Janis Joplin, Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star and even Norah Jones. But this Mississippi girl is making her own name for herself, belting out a breath of fresh air into the New Orleans music scene and beyond and winning over fans with a style all her own.

The Lafitte stage will be closing down for the day with a twang. At 4:00 PM Gal Holiday and the Honky Tonk Revue will be bringing us some Country, Rockabilly and Western Swing. Cowboy boots are not required, but highly recommended.

From their Myspace page:
Since she was knee high to a grasshopper, Gal Holiday has been performing on stages large and small. Jumping in head first at the age of 3 you could find her on stages playing Tambourine, later progressing to Piano, Trombone, Clarinet and Cello before finally focusing on her own voice. She landed in the Swing movement of the 90’s singing with Doc Scantlin & his Imperial Palms Orchestra in Washington D.C. until she headed south to New Orleans.

Since relocating, Gal has sung with several A-List acts including the world renown Burlesque troupe “The Shim-Shamettes” and Bump & Grind Royalty “The SophistiCats” as well as maintaining a solid Smoky Jazz solo career with regular gigs at places such as The New Orleans Contemporary Arts Center.
