Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars – Activism Through Music
The Louisiana supergroup the Voice of the Wetlands Allstars feature the “crème de la crème” of Louisiana musicians.
“Ain’ No Funk, Like Louisiana Funk” – The Voice of the Wetlands Allstars |
“Louisiana Sunshine” The Voice of the Wetlands Allstars |
Tab Benoit and Cyril Neville Interview |
The legendary musicians of the Voice of the Wetlands All-stars were already working together with Voice of the Wetland’s volunteers to raise awareness of the erosion of the Gulf Coast wetlands before Hurricane Katrina. They continue to perform together as a common voice to bring attention to the problems that Louisiana’s wetlands face. The groups music is a cross-cut of what you may expect to hear at a New Orleans Jazz or Blues festival.
2012 Blues Music Awards “Entertainer of the Year” Tab Benoit passionately locks into his music and his activism at the same time along with Grammy award winning Cyril Neville of the Neville Brothers and Meters, 2012 Blues Music Award winner Johnny Sansone, New Orleans premiere drummer the legendary Johnny Vidacovich, Louisiana Fiddler Waylon Thibodeaux, the big chief of New Orleans Mardi Gras Indians Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, and bassist Corey Duplechin.
No matter how high the water gets this band is here to remind you that “There Ain’t No Funk Like Louisiana Funk” and without Louisiana’s Wetlands there would not be a great performance like this one.
The members of Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars are Tab Benoit, Cyril Neville, Corey Duplechin, Johnny Vidacovich, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Johnny Sansone, and Waylon Thibodeaux.
Recording members of the Voice of the Wetlands Allstars are Dr. John, Anders Osborne, and George Porter Jr appear with touring band on select dates.
