Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns

Big image

Show Description

New Orleans’ French Quarter live here in Montreal! “Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns” bring to you, in expertly executed musical form, the exuberant spirit and defiant vitality of New Orleans, the city they are proud to call home. The sousaphone roars alongside washboard and guitar, all keeping pulsing rhythm, supporting and driving the beautiful, melodic weavings of the trombone and trumpet. And then there’s the voice, deep and rich as a liquor-filled bon-bon. Dan Baum of The New Yorker writes: “Meschiya Lake…lifts her chest, and opens her throat like an air raid siren to croon in a thrilling pre-microphone style that…can make you feel by turns as though you were shivering round a rail yard campfire or drinking in a Budapest nightclub in 1938.”
