| Louisiana Story by Robert Flaherty (Film) |
2008 |
Louisiana |
350 (Film)
Louisiana Story is one of the first feature-length films shot in Louisiana and about Louisiana. More docu-drama than documentary, it nonetheless depicts the struggle many Louisianans faced with the advent of the oil industry and subsequent Americanization. Commissioned by Standard Oil Company, Flaherty's film provides one region's reconciliation with modernization. |

Recently featured in several Abita beer commercials, the Benjy Davis Project understands the proud tradition of Southern influenced music. Their original songs run the spectrum from soft acoustic pieces to hard rocking party songs that will bring you to your feet. Their sound is capped off with vocal harmonies rich in feeling and texture. Member of the band, Michael Galasso, describes the music of the band as "music with a real sense of where it came from. We aren't discovering new musical frontiers, but we are delivering honest and real music that people of all ages and tastes can relate to. People like us for the same reason they like music from the sixties and seventies. There is no faking it. There is no manipulation. It is straight forward and honest, but it is also relevant." |
| Red Stick Ramblers |
2008 |
Louisiana |
292 This Baton Rouge based quintet wants their audiences to hold this expectation in mind before seeing a Red Stick Ramblers show: "it's less like a performance and more like a party." They are known for their ability to keep a party going and a dance floor hopping for hours. Their unending energy and enthusiastic willingness to please make this band a powerhouse of stage presence. Gambit Weekly of New Orleans described the band's music as an "enthusiastic and vintage-sounding blend of Cajun, honky-tonk, Western, country blues and hot jazz that would raise the roof of either a Harlem speakeasy or a Eunice barn dance." Approachability and community are the key aspects to success for these downright southern gentlemen. Though their boots are firmly rooted in Louisiana soil, this band of ramblin' men has brought Cajun music to audiences across the country outdoing themselves at each show.

2008 |
Louisiana |
314 (Indie / Rock)
Dedicated to the belief that most music is created equal, Brass Bed is driven by a wide spectrum of influences. The music moves easily through an eclectic mix of genres. From alt-country ballads and progressive rock hooks, to their sticky-sweet, heart-felt lyrics, and dissonant experimental freak-outs, this unique mix of intelligently designed compositions has left some critics describing them as something akin to "The Beach Boys crossing paths with the Flaming Lips."

2008 |
Louisiana |
305 (Jazz/Funk/R&B)
The Hot 8 Brass Band has been central to New Orleans street music for over a decade. Founded in 1995, The Hot 8 are famous for playing all day in the sun, then hopping to a club gig and playing through the night. Even more than their boundless energy, what makes the Hot 8 special is the sounds they coax from their well-loved, well-worn horns. These men produce sounds of complemented magical harmonies and the magical, sweet tone that make it impossible to mistake this band for any other.
