Honey Island Swamp Band at Last Day Saloon
The Last Day Saloon
welcomes the Honey Island Swamp Band, a band that draws inspiration from the music of Louisiana and Mississippi. Their music has been described as "Vintage country meets Gulf Coast boogie-woogie blues.” –Bthesite, Baltimore Sun
The band came together after Aaron Wilkinson (acoustic guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Chris Mule’ (electric guitar, vocals) were marooned in San Francisco after the levee breaches following Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, and had a chance encounter with fellow New Orleans evacuees Sam Price (bass, vocals) and Garland Paul (drums, vocals) at John Lee Hooker’s Boom Boom Room on Fillmore Street. They knew each other from having all played together in some form or another in various New Orleans bands, and with the great unknown regarding their return to their underwater hometown looming in the distance, they decided to put together a band and get some gigs going.
This is a 21 and over show.
