Paul Sanchez and Alex MacMurray

Two of New Orleans' best songwriter/performers, Alex McMurray and Paul Sanchez are returning to The Farmstand for a shared evening of music and stories. They transform audiences with their unique blend of music and storytelling – at once powerful, sad, humorous, entertaining, and hopeful.

Fans may know native New Orleanian Paul Sanchez as a founding member of the rock band Cowboy Mouth, with whom he has 11 albums; for his role in the HBO series Treme where he played himself; or as the creative force behind the musical Nine Lives, a musical adaptation of the best-selling novel by Dan Baum. Nine Lives follows the lives of nine people in New Orleans from 1965 (the year Hurricane Betsy ravaged the city) through 2005 (the year of Hurricane Katrina) and beyond.

Songwriter, singer and guitarist Alex McMurray has been writing and performing music in New Orleans since 1989. Past and current bands include Tin Men, The Valparaiso Men's Chorus, The Write Brothers, Royal Fingerbowl, 007 and the Happy Talk Band. He has worked as a sideman with Susan Cowsill, Paul Sanchez, Spencer Bohren, Greg Schatz, John "Papa" Gros, Lynn Drury and many others. Awards include the 2020 Offbeat Magazine Best Country/Folk/Singer-Songwriter Artist and Album awards for his 2020 release "Lucky One", a 2014 Big Easy award for best Roots Rock artist and 2010 Big Easy award for Album of the Year. He also played himself on the HBO series “Treme” for several episodes. Here’s Alex in his backyard in New Orleans
