The Iguanas – Live From The PinChurch – 6/9/18

The Mystic Krewe is excited to present another of our amazing Live From the PinChurch shows, this time featuring a legendary New Orleans band that’s been around for decades. The Iguanas!

We will be streaming this event live, one-time only at http://live.mystickrewe.com/ but there are a limited number of public tickets available – see below!

What if Americana actually encompassed ALL of North America? You’d have the Franco – Acadian inflections of Canada, as best exemplified by le accordion, blues and jazz, the only truly indigenous musics the US has ever produced, and the lilting grace and fiery passion of the music of Mexico. You’d also have New Orleans’ premiere distillers of this continental musical melange, The Iguanas!

Based out of New Orleans for the past couple of decades — save for a short, Katrina-imposed exile in Austin — the members of the Iguanas have (collectively or individually) played or recorded with everyone from Charlie Rich, Alex Chilton, and Willie DeVille to Emmylou Harris, Allen Toussaint, and Pretty Lights.

Their two-decade ride has taken them all over the map musically and geographically,

yet the inescapable patina of their hometown infuses every note they play.

Through eight studio albums, countless tours and Jazz Fest appearances, and a flood that did its best to take their adopted city with it, it’s a testament to the band’s endurance that the same four guys that started playing in the early 1990s are still together. Joe Cabral

is philosophical about the bandʼs persistence in the face of challenges that would have felled—indeed have felled—lesser bands. “First of all, this is all we know how to do; weʼre musicians. But more than that,” he continues, “we respect the power of the band as an entity, and each individual in the band steps up to play his part. When itʼs good, thatʼs really what itʼs all about.”
