This album takes you deep into the heart of Louisiana, where the swampy bayous whisper secrets of the past, and the streets of New Orleans come alive with the pulse of accordion-driven rhythms and foot-stomping melodies. Each track tells a story. There’s a tribute to the legendary Clifton Chenier, the “King of Zydeco,” whose music defined a genre and inspired generations. Another song revisits the tragedy and resilience of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, capturing both the sorrow and the unbreakable spirit of the people who call this city home. And, of course, no journey through this musical landscape would be complete without a song dedicated to the shortwave radio station that once broadcast from New Orleans—bringing the sounds of Cajun and Zydeco music to the world and, in turn, introducing me to this electrifying tradition. This album is a love letter to the soul of Louisiana, where music is more than entertainment—it’s a way of life.

Stay tuned. The bayou is calling.
