Blues with a touch of Soul.
There are bands out there that weave a musical story so vivid that you wind up in the middle of it. The Gayle Harrod Band not only understands that but leans into it.  The rare, honest, and spell-binding performance that Blues-lovers crave is born of empathy, total commitment, and complete freedom from self-consciousness. Band leader, vocalist, and songwriter Gayle Harrod achieves that ultimately satisfying level of performance on The Gayle Harrod Band’s debut release, Temptation, due out February 2023. 
The genuine fun Gayle is having on “In the Deep Dark Night” (a jumpin' New Orleans second line romp) is contagious. On the haunting, Gospel-inspired Texas Blues “Temptation”, the power and soul of her voice are hair-raising. On “The In Between,” her warmth and vulnerability are reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt. Her voice is at times, thrillingly rocket-powered, a signature blend of grit, gravel, and pure defiance.  Yet she also has the ability to summon warm, smoky, velvety tones and has the finesse to draw the listener in with a heartbreaking quiet, confessional intimacy.
Part of the instant connection she brings to the listener may be inherent in her songwriting. “I don't know how I functioned or survived all those years without this means of expression,” she says. “My writing is very personal. I dig deep into my own experiences and feelings.”  
The title track, Temptation, is a great example: confessional, relatable, and right on target.
Oh lord sometimes I wonder
Why you made me like you do
Oh I just can’t seem to do right
Like I know you want me to
Oh that devil got my body
But the good lord got my heart
Sometimes they get to fighting 
Like to tear my soul apart
Temptation, from The Gayle Harrod Band, is produced by Buddy Speir and recorded at 38 North Studio in Falls Church, VA. It’s a beautiful showcase of Gayle's range of musical influences: a melting pot of Blues styles from Chicago to New Orleans, Memphis to the Mississippi Delta and Mussel Shoals; as well as influences of Motown, R&B, and Soul. Listening through the tracks, it’s clear that Gayle Harrod, at 56 years young, is going all in on her musical vision.  
Gayle is backed up on this recording by some of the finest musicians in the mid-Atlantic region. She says, “Finding both talent and chemistry are everything to me when choosing band-mates. I want to play seamlessly together and also laugh together. I have enormous respect and appreciation for these musicians.” Original band members Stan Turk (guitar) and Chuck Ferrell (drums) are featured. Guest performers include guitarists Jonathan Sloane, Sol Roots, and Bobby Thompson; bassist Christopher Brown; and Brian Simms on piano and organ. Producer Buddy Speir contributes guitar, slide, organ, and Wurlitzer. The all-star background vocals are courtesy of Mary Ann Redmond, Dusty Rose, and The Voices of Faith of the First Baptist Church of Baltimore Choir. Also featured is Rachelle Danto on harmonica and The Beltway Horns: Greg Boyer on trombone, Brad Clements on trumpet, and Brent Birckhead on tenor sax.
The Gayle Harrod Band gives you Blues the way it was intended - with gritty honesty, raw emotion, and a story rooted in experience.

« Between The Lines signifie entre les lignes.
Entre celles de la musique Second Line
de La Nouvelle-Orléans et celles des multiples
influences de nos musiciens.
Entre les lignes musicales que l'on joue, et les
émotions qu'elles font vibrer de spécifique et de
fondamental en chacun.
Between The Lines, c'est tout ce qui nous tient à
coeur, mais que le temps et la pudeur nous
retiennent de verbaliser.
C'est qui l'on est, d'où l'on vient, où l'on va.
C'est à la fois nos moments de joie et de tristesse.
C'est tout ce que l’on ne réussit pas à avouer à
ses proches, et tout ce que l'on souhaite pour
son prochain.
C'est l'amitié, l'envie de se rassembler, de se
rencontrer, et aussi, la passion et la folie de deux
êtres qui se déchirent.
Between The Lines c'est le rêve éveillé de
Suck Da Head dans les rues de la Nouvelle
Orléans. »

Scrim - Second Line (SpeczDaplug Remix)

“New Orleans Rising, From the Storm, With Fire in Her Eyes” is an anthem of resilience and a tribute to the city that faced Katrina and rose stronger. Blending gospel soul, New Orleans jazz brass, and Americana storytelling, this track carries the sound of survival and rebirth. Saxophones cry, trumpets lift, gospel keys glow, and heartfelt lyrics remind us that even the strongest storms cannot silence the spirit of New Orleans.

Released in honor of the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, this song is both remembrance and celebration — the sound of a city marching forward with fire in her eyes.

The waters rose, the levees gave way,
Every street was drowning, night turned gray.
But from the silence, a spirit stayed,
A soul no storm could ever take away.

New Orleans rising, from the storm, with fire in her eyes,
Trumpets of hope reaching into the skies.
From broken streets to a brighter morn,
This is the song of the storm reborn.

Hands rebuilt what the waves tore down,
Second lines marched back through the town.
Every scar is a story, every brass horn plays,
Hope keeps marching in the parades.

New Orleans rising, from the storm, with fire in her eyes,
Trumpets of hope reaching into the skies.
From broken streets to a brighter morn,
This is the song of the storm reborn.

Winds may roar and the waters may rise,
But her spirit shines beneath southern skies.
What tried to drown only taught her to soar,
New Orleans stronger — forever more.

New Orleans rising, from the storm, with fire in her eyes,
Trumpets of hope reaching into the skies.
From broken streets to a brighter morn,
This is the song of the storm reborn.

The storm tried to break her, but she carried the song…
Now New Orleans dances where the night once belonged.

When Gayle began dabbling in the music scene in her mid-thirties, it quickly became a passion and outlet for creative expression, carrying her through some of the most challenging times of her life. She joined her first band in 2011 with a former high school classmate and never looked back. After singing with several cover bands, The Gayle Harrod Band was formed in 2017 to focus more on original music. Gayle and her band quickly began creating a buzz. At the 2018 Baltimore Band Block Party (hosted by WTMD Radio), they landed among the “Top 3 bands in Baltimore”. The band was also featured on the weekly “Baltimore Hit Parade” radio show with Sam Sessa.  

Gayle has shared the stage as guest vocalist with legendary Boogie Woogie pianist and mentor Daryl Davis at Bethesda Blues and Jazz, AMP, and The Birchmere; and performed with both The Daryl Davis Band and Sol Roots Trio at the 2022 Silver Spring Blues Festival in Silver Spring, MD. Other Band performance highlights include the 2019 Whiskey Rebellion Festival in Washington, PA; the 2022 Main Street Music Festival in Ellicott City, MD; and yearly repeated performances at the Savor Bowie Music and Wine Festival in Bowie, MD.  

The Gayle Harrod Band gives you Blues the way it was intended - with gritty honesty, raw emotion, and a story rooted in experience.

Flamingeaux was raised in New Orleans, but the DJ was born in Miami. When the sounds of electronic dance music entered his ears, and he experienced the energy that a great house music set can bring to a crowd, he was hooked. Through his love of the music and the gathering that ensues, Flamingeaux has developed a style of Djing that gathers electronic dance music into a unique ensemble that drives a crowd crazy, keeps them wondering what's coming next, and leaves them begging for more. His turntablism focuses more on the blending of songs and transitions in between as well as the emotions evoked by simple lyrics. This new unique style of a mastermind DJ will take you by surprise, and leave you with a love for the music, the crowd, the energy, and the movement dance music has bequeathed upon the world.

You can catch The Flamingeaux playing venues in Miami Beach, New Orleans, and most recently in his new nest, Napa Valley California in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Flamingeaux is available for worldwide bookings. (Proficient in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic) (Français, Espagnol, العربية)

Par amour pour le Second Line, musique originaire de la Nouvelle-Orléans, Suck da Head a bâti sa réputation en interprétant les classiques du répertoire de groupes tels que le Rebirth Brass Band, Young Blood Brass Band, Treme Brass Band.

Suck da Head développe aujourd'hui un style musical qui lui est propre, révélant des compositions à la fois exigeantes, généreuses et imprégnées d'émotions. Portée par la joie communicative de ses dix talentueux musiciens, leur musique à la fois puissante, cuivrée et enivrante vous entraîne irrésistiblement à la danse !

Hadley began composing music at the age of 12, blending curiosity with raw creativity at a time when songwriting tools were limited to pen, paper, and instinct. From those early beginnings, Hadley developed a lifelong knack for turning life’s moments—both big and small—into captivating tracks and songs that resonate across generations.
