JeConte is a blues rock singer and slamming harmonica player based in Sausalito California. He travels all over the World performing and has bands based in; San Francisco, New Orleans, Paris & Bamako Mali. Coming off his successful 2013 release of Mali Blues with European & US tours, 2015 will see the spring release of ‘Down by the Bayou,’ produced by, and featuring, Anders Osborne and posted here for your listening pleasure. 

Down by The Bayou showcases the bluesy soulful vocals and lightening harmonica chops of renowned livewire JeConte, backed by a ferocious blues rock band featuring New Orleans legend Anders Osborne, veteran LA rocker Wally Ingram, Bayou bassman Carl Dufrene, San Francisco slide virtuoso Chris Haugen & long time JeConte writing partner and lead guitar maestro Matty Cohen.  

Down by the Bayou dips deep into the roots of the Bayou, while simultaneously preserving the NorCal Rock n’ Roll and West African influences of JeConte’s style. Recorded upon his escape from the coup d’etat in Mali at Dockside Studios in Maurice Louisiana in 2012, JeConte went directly from the war torn West African country and the Mali Blues sessions, into the heart of the Bayou to carve out a record that inspires deep soulful southern blues, and begs the listener to ask for more.
