George Porter Jr. &amp; Runnin' Pardners

George Porter Jr. is an award-winning bassist, songwriter and vocalist. He is a founding member of New Orleans’ seminal funk band, The Meters and widely recognized as one of the greatest bass players of all time. Formed alongside Art "Poppa Funk" Neville, Leo Nocentelli and Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste, the pioneering R&amp;B funk outfit hit the scene on the streets of the Crescent City in the 1960s, to ultimately become one of the progenitors of the funk music genre. The groundbreaking collective carved out syncopated polyrhythms and grooves inherited from New Orleans’ deep African musical roots. Porter’s heavy pocket and fat notes formed the rubbery bass lines behind funk classics like their signature “Cissy Strut,” the now classic 1969 funk instrumental released as a single from their eponymous debut album, which reached No. 4 on the R&amp;B chart and No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively. 

Honey Island Swamp Band

Honey Island Swamp Band is a tremendous live band with superb musicianship. They are a thrilling, eclectic band that defies genre conventions, renders song structures elastic, and wholeheartedly stresses that the song reigns supreme. Since they formed in 2005 in San Francisco after their displacement from New Orleans via Katrina — and subsequently relocated back home — the band has evolved to embody contemporary roots music. If you’re wondering where the numerous streams of American sounds coalesce and commingle in the modern scene, look no further.

Doussan Garrett Benoit

Doussan Garrett Benoit is the sound of three bandleaders—Mike Doussan, Josh Garrett, and Tyron Benoit—coming together after decades on the road, in the studio, and on stages big and small. Each with their own storied career, they’ve shared bills with legends, toured nationally and internationally, and built loyal followings on the strength of honest songwriting and powerful live shows. Rooted in blues and rock with a Louisiana edge, DGB is less about trends and more about truth—music born from miles traveled, nights played, and stories worth telling.

Royal Horses

Royal Horses is a Hattiesburg, Mississippi based rock band formed by Shelby Kemp and Daniel Firth. The band got its start in 2016 playing shows around South Mississippi and has been steadily expanding their touring range in the years since. The now five piece band has played in venues from Virginia to Colorado and all around the Southeastern United States. The band released their debut album in 2020, A Modern Man's Way To Improve, and toured on the back of that album following the pandemic. In 2022 the band released their second record, Where The Purple Flowers Grow, on Eddie Robert's Denver based record label, Color Red Music. 

Food for purchase (included in the all-inclusive ticket) by Alligator Mike and his T-Bois Cajun cooks. Hailing from LaRose, LA, Alligator Mike has been cooking over a pot, usually a very large black pot, for decades on his family’s alligator farm, and for over 15 years at T Bois Blues Festival, and more recently at 100 Men Hall. Alligator Mike’s Louisiana cooking includes redfish court bouillon all the way to his very special Cajun gumbo. Louisiana cooking is a diverse cuisine influenced by many cultures, including French, Spanish, African and Native American.
