Event Description

Honey Island Swamp Band: 20th Anniversary Tour!

“Honey Island Swamp Band’s rustic, roots vibe follows the tradition of melding country, soul, funk and blues flavors to render a sound that is decidedly New Orleanian but with an Americana twist.” Relix 

“These songs [on Custom Deluxe] are like entrees of the tastiest New Orleans sounds, fusing roots, blues, Southern rock and beyond. It’s gumbo with gusto…Honey Island Swamp Band’s new album is polished, smooth (like honey) and groovy.” 
Americana Highways

“A unique blend of roots music inspired both by their longtime status as New Orleans residents and their birth in San Francisco.”
Live For Live Music

The Honey Island Swamp Band are a thrilling, eclectic band that defies genre conventions, renders song structures elastic, and wholeheartedly stresses that the song reigns supreme.

Since they formed in 2005 in San Francisco after their displacement from New Orleans via Katrina (and subsequently relocated back home), the band has evolved to embody contemporary roots music.

The fivesome, bandleader and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Wilkinson, guitarist and vocalist Lee Yankee, bassist Sam Price, keyboardist Chris Spies, and drummer and vocalist Garland Paul released “Custom Deluxe”  (Color Red Music) their most satisfying, consolidative album to date.

Songs like the kinetic “High River Rag,” authoritative “Wildfire” and blues-rocking “Sugar For Sugar” display these musical omnivores at a new zenith.

“We’re definitely melody-driven, vocal-driven, lyric-driven,” Wilkinson explains of the Honey Island Swamp Band’s modus operandi at this juncture, with Custom Deluxe. “We like something that’s new, yet sounds like it could have been a hit that you didn’t know about.”
