“Honey Island Swamp Band Doesn't Miss a Beat on Its Latest Effort, Good www.HoneyIslandSwampBand.com 504.982.9112 [email protected] “Honey Island Swamp Band doesn’t miss a beat on its latest effort, Good To You, a sweltering, sunstreaked affair that sneaks upon you like a slow-rolling breeze on a sticky, summer afternoon.” – Offbeat Magazine “Vintage country meets Gulf Coast boogie-woogie blues.” – Erik Deatherage, WTMD Baltimore “A jolly rocking, sweet, swampy set of travelin’, drinkin’ and lovin’ trouble songs…50 minutes of catchy hooks and gen-you-wine blue-eyed soul from one of New Orleans' hardest working barroom bands.” – Chris Rose, New Orleans Times Picayune “Somewhere, there exists a dark, smoky bar with a jukebox that spins George Jones, Gram Parsons, Delbert McClinton, and Little Feat. And if that fantasy honky-tonk lights your Marlboro, you need to know about Honey Island Swamp Band.” – Broward-Palm Beach New Times NEW ORLEANS – Following the success of Wishing Well, winner of Offbeat Magazine’s award for Best Blues Album 2009, the Honey Island Swamp Band returns with Good To You, their much anticipated sophomore release. Over a summer highlighted by performances at the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the Chenango Blues Festival in Norwich, NY; the White Mountain Blues and Boogie Festival in Thornton, NH; and the Federal Hill Jazz and Blues Festival in Baltimore, MD, HISB has brought their infectious blend of roots-rock, Americana and funky blues to music lovers far and wide. The album became the #4 top seller at Louisiana Music Factory during the 2010 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, launching a full-scale national release that continues with the Roots n Blues n BBQ Festival in Columbia, MO; the first annual De Luna Fest in Pensacola, FL; and the Bear Creek Music and Arts Festival in Suwannee, FL this fall. In addition, the band will be graduating to performances at some of the nation’s larger clubs, as well as venturing into new markets that have yet to experience the fiery live shows the band puts on. The album is already gaining momentum with steady airplay on East, West and Gulf Coasts, as well as on Sirius/XM satellite radio; and if early reviews are any indication, Good To You looks to be the album that will establish Honey Island Swamp Band as the next major act to explode out of New Orleans. “This band of New Orleans musicians, who formed in the San Francisco Bay area while riding out Katrina, return with their strongest effort to date,” Erik Deatherage, DJ at WTMD Baltimore, says. “Check out the best dueling guitar lick since Wilco's ‘Impossible Germany’ on the scorching opener ‘Chocolate Cake’.” HISB continues its nationwide tour in support of Good To You over the course of this fall and winter. For more information, visit www.honeyislandswampband.com . GOOD TO YOU – 2010 Hot off the heels of a break-out year that saw the band bring home multiple awards (“Best Blues Album” and “Best Emerging Artist”, Offbeat Magazine), the Honey Island Swamp Band returns with Good To You, their second full length release and first imprint on the Threadhead Records label. Reasssembling much of the crew from 2009’s award winning Wishing Well sessions, the band settled into New Orleans’ Fudge Studios in early January, emerging a month later with thirteen powerful originals culled from over a year’s worth of performing and writing on the road. The group’s signature blend of roots genres explores even greater depths in their sophomore effort, with straight up rockers like “Rod n Reel” mixing it up with honky tonkers like “You Remind Me,” soulful R&B grooves like “Ten Times the Man” and country blues throwbacks like “In the Morning.” Working with producer Jack Miele, the band set out to capture a more unpredicatable, organic feel on Good To You, tracking live as much as possible. The energy captured is evident on first-take tracks such as “Be Good” and “Chocolate Cake,” the album’s knock-out opening number. The first joint composition between all four founding HISB members (Aaron Wilkinson, mandolin/guitar; Chris Mulé, guitar; Sam Price, bass; and Garland Paul, drums), the song is a thunderous document of a band evolving together after months of performing nightly in venues across the country. To flesh out the new crop of tunes, the band once again tapped the talents of the many musicians who made the Wishing Well sessions a smash success. The extended HISB family – including saxophonist and arranger Jimmy Carpenter (Eric Lindell, Jimmy Thackery); trombonist Greg Hicks (Bonerama); keyboardist Marc Adams (the Dixie Cups); vocalists Gina Brown (Tony Clifton, Anutha Level) and Evelyn Montgomery (Tony Clifton), and vocalist/harmonica player Sean Carey (Eric Lindell) – all return with stellar performances. New additions include New Orleans percussion ace Michael Skinkus, guitarist Jake Eckert (Dirty Dozen Brass Band), banjoist Graham Robinson and master of the pedal steel, Dwight Breland. ABOUT THE 2009 ALBUM WISHING WELL “From Stones-ian blues-rock swagger to New Orleans funk to honky-tonk.” – Keith Spera, New Orleans Times Picayune “An original sound that fuses bluegrass, jazz, funk, reggae, and country. If someone asked me to do that, I would probably say that it was impossible.” – NewOrleans.com Great music begins with great songs, and great songs are what the Honey Island Swamp Band is all about. When they formed the band, Aaron Wilkinson and Chris Mulé had already established promising songwriting careers, both individually and as a team. Collaborating with fellow songwriter and Alligator Records recording artist Eric Lindell, the two were instrumental in the writing for Lindell’s acclaimed 2008 release Low on Cash, Rich in Love. With Wishing Well, the first full-length release from Honey Island Swamp Band, both musicians brought their songwriting to new levels, earning the album honors as OffBeat Magazine’s Best Blues Album of 2009. From the opening bars of the title track to the album’s final note, Wishing Well covers the entire landscape of southern roots music that has made the band’s live shows and eponymous 2007 EP favorites among music lovers of all genres. Rockers like “Wishing Well” and “Seeds and Stems” evoke Exile on Main Street-era Stones, while the mid-tempo funk of “Natural Born Fool” and “Till the Money’s Gone” capture the bluesy soul of Delbert McClinton and early Black Crowes. Classic country fans will recognize the bar-room emotion of “I Can Tell” and “Dark End of the Bar,” while R&B lovers will appreciate the New Orleans flavor of “Killing Me” and the Stevie Wonder-meets-Eric Clapton soul of “Expression of Love.” Eleven of the album’s thirteen songs testify to the strength of Wilkinson and Mulé’s songwriting, while inspired covers of Washboard Sam’s “Sophisticated Mama” and William Bell’s “You Don’t Miss Your Water” reflect the band’s wide range of influences. The album was produced by Tom Drummond, bassist for New Orleans’ own Better Than Ezra. Drummond recorded the album at Ezra’s Fudge Studio, where the immediate challenge became whittling down the band’s extensive body of original songs to a manageable album-length recording. After settling on a set of songs representative of the band’s eclectic sound, the core group – Wilkinson on mandolin and guitar, Mulé on guitar, Sam Price on bass and Garland Paul on drums – took on the task of capturing their live energy on tape. “It was a pleasure working with a band with such a wide variety of instrumentation,” Drummond says. “We wanted to make the record feel as organic as possible while still taking advantage of modern recording techniques. These guys kept me on my toes for sure. There are some great performances on this album to go along with some great songs.” To bring their vision to life, the group invited an A-list of friends and former collaborators to get on board for the new record. New Orleans stalwart Marc Adams handles the keyboard work, while veteran saxophonist Jimmy Carpenter (Eric Lindell Band, Jimmy Thackery) contributes as both player and horn arranger. Mark Mullins and Craig Klein (Bonerama) round out the horn section, while legendary sousaphonist Kirk Joseph (Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Backyard Groove) holds down the bottom on several tracks. Multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer Sean Carey (Eric Lindell Band) adds his unique harmonica and vocal sounds to several tracks, while the dynamite duo of Gina Brown (Anutha Level, Tony Clifton) and Evelyn Montgomery (Tony Clifton) takes the band’s vocal harmonies to sultry depths and stratospheric heights. Rounding out this group of extraordinarily talented contributors are accordionist Greg Schatz (Schatzy) and clarinetist Tom Fischer. ABOUT THE HONEY ISLAND SWAMP BAND For most of the past decade, Aaron Wilkinson and Chris Mulé established themselves as top-notch musicians and songwriters, most notably as members of the Eric Lindell band. The two were major contributors as both players and writers for Lindell’s 2006 Alligator Records debut Change in the Weather and his follow up, 2008’s Low on Cash, Rich in Love. “Lay Back Down,” a Lindell/Wilkinson composition and the first single from Low on Cash, debuted at number 13 on the AAA radio charts and was featured in the band’s live performance on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” Wilkinson’s “Josephine” received major airplay as the album’s second single, while collaborations between all three musicians have been favorites of DJs in major US markets, internationally and on both Sirius and XM satellite stations over the past year. After years of touring around the country and around the world in support of Lindell’s releases and with various other bands, Wilkinson and Mulé formed the Honey Island Swamp Band as a vehicle for a huge backlog of original songs the two had written but never recorded.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 © Copyright by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line by Benjamin Grant Doleac Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Cheryl L. Keyes, Chair The black brass band parade known as the second line has been a staple of New Orleans culture for nearly 150 years. Through more than a century of social, political and demographic upheaval, the second line has persisted as an institution in the city’s black community, with its swinging march beats and emphasis on collective improvisation eventually giving rise to jazz, funk, and a multitude of other popular genres both locally and around the world. More than any other local custom, the second line served as a crucible in which the participatory, syncretic character of black music in New Orleans took shape. While the beat of the second line reverberates far beyond the city limits today, the neighborhoods that provide the parade’s sustenance face grave challenges to their existence. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina tore up the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans, these largely poor communities are plagued on one side by underfunded schools and internecine violence, and on the other by the rising tide of post-disaster gentrification and the redlining-in- disguise of neoliberal urban policy.

  • The Composer's Guide to the Tuba
    THE COMPOSER’S GUIDE TO THE TUBA: CREATING A NEW RESOURCE ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TUBA FAMILY Aaron Michael Hynds A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: David Saltzman, Advisor Marco Nardone Graduate Faculty Representative Mikel Kuehn Andrew Pelletier © 2019 Aaron Michael Hynds All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Saltzman, Advisor The solo repertoire of the tuba and euphonium has grown exponentially since the middle of the 20th century, due in large part to the pioneering work of several artist-performers on those instruments. These performers sought out and collaborated directly with composers, helping to produce works that sensibly and musically used the tuba and euphonium. However, not every composer who wishes to write for the tuba and euphonium has access to world-class tubists and euphonists, and the body of available literature concerning the capabilities of the tuba family is both small in number and lacking in comprehensiveness. This document seeks to remedy this situation by producing a comprehensive and accessible guide on the capabilities of the tuba family. An analysis of the currently-available materials concerning the tuba family will give direction on the structure and content of this new guide, as will the dissemination of a survey to the North American composition community. The end result, the Composer’s Guide to the Tuba, is a practical, accessible, and composer-centric guide to the modern capabilities of the tuba family of instruments. iv To Sara and Dad, who both kept me going with their never-ending love.

  • A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen
    A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON NEW ORLEANS JAZZWOMEN Sherrie Tucker Principal Investigator Submitted by Center for Research University of Kansas 2385 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7563 September 30, 2004 In Partial Fulfillment of #P5705010381 Submitted to New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park National Park Service 419 Rue Decatur New Orleans, LA 70130 This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.
