Experience New Orleans-inspired music through the lens of two London-based groups, adding a distinctive twist to the classic sounds.
Based around double bass, accordian, and clarinet, Whiskey Moonface are led by the superb vocals and hallucinatory lyrics of singer Louisa Jones. Capable of being both ear-to-ear-grinningly entertaining and profoundly moving, they combine elements of Eastern European traditional & klezmer music, old-time New Orleans jazz and the baroque/ chamber folk styles of Sufjan Stevens and Beirut with their own unique take on contemporary folk music to make for a superbly realised, truly beautiful, and utterly original sound.
Hailing from East London the Ten Bells Rag Band play hard swinging traditional jazz rooted in the streets of New Orleans. This is horn heavy vintage jazz played with a groove that swing dancers love and a freshness that excites, according to The Syncopated Times. NOLA jazz from the soul of Frenchman Street... via the Mile End Road!
