Clint Maedgen is a multi-instrumental singer, songwriter, composer and arranger. Best known for his work as leader of the multi-media cabaret game-show the Bingo! Show, he also sings with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and performs in the noise-rock band Liquidrone.
Singer/songwriter Loren Murrell could be described as “prolific,” but that might be an understatement. Originally hailing from Michigan and now relocated to New Orleans, his live performance gives the stunning impression of a complete orchestral arrangement though he is just one man with a guitar or piano. He vibratos, tremolos, and falsettos with ease and grace.
According to singer/guitarist Yegor Romantsov, the story of DEBAUCHE is a very sad story:….
“If Schwartzennegger and Chuck Norris had to drink a lot of Vodka and have a lot of sex, that’s what we sound like. Please enjoy it while we are here.”
Led by clarinetist Ben Schenk, the Panorama Jazz Band has been a continuous presence on the New Orleans music scene since 1995. Equally at home in the Crescent City’s numerous nightclubs, at intimate French Quarter soirees or at international music festivals, this collection of Louisiana musicians, with their traditional instruments and their fascinating repertoire, have proven over the years that they can come into any situation, capture everybody’s attention and bring a party.
Innovators, rebels, and survivors. Despite the turbulent times in Louisiana’s recent history, the Zydepunks have grown from their New Orleans home to be a regional and international phenomenon. Yiddish riddles, Irish ballads, Cajun punk, and vocals in six languages are a small demonstration of why they astound new audiences. Wild folk dances fronted by accordion and fiddle and backed by relentless drums and bass are a testament to the high-energy folk-punk dance craze that is a Zydepunks show.
The Zydepunks’ new release FINISTERRE is the culmination of years of musical experience and the honing of their unique folk/punk sound. Massachusetts label Nine Mile Records (NMR) is releasing this highly anticipated album nationally on October 21, 2008.
