The Deslondes

Age Limit: 21+
Cost: $12
Named after the street in New Orleans where they first came together, the Deslondes will debut a newly electrified paisley underground version of their traditional Cajun country and R&B act. Touring in support of their sophomore album Hurry Home (due June 23 via New West Records), the group has moved the electric guitar and organ to the forefront, with all five members now sharing both vocal and songwriting duties. The result is reminiscent of classic Little Feat, Lee Hazlewood, and even our own late lamented Coyote Problem, tipping cowboy folk into Gulf Coast blues and jazz for an NPR-friendly mix that lends itself well to endless spin-worthy Phishlike jam sessions.
