1713675600 Live Music Clay Parker and Jodi James Baton Rouge Gallery 2024-04-21 2024-04-21 3:00 PM 5:00 PM On Sunday, April 21, Baton Rouge Gallery is delighted to host a performance and conversation with Clay Parker and Jodi James. As with all Sundays@4 performances, this will be free and open to the public. Clay Parker and Jodi James have their own brand of genre-blending sonic storytelling. Before their artistic paths converged, Parker and James roamed the musical landscape as lone troubadours, each nurturing their own raw and genuine sound. The result of this musical marriage is a blackout bingo card of Americana. Their album, “Your Very Own Dream" released this January, is at once plaintive folk and antique country, a breezy Hawaiian daydream- a bonfire ballad. Their lyrical riddles and haunting melodies have captivated audiences all across the country - they’ve run their share of rocky roads, collecting stories like souvenirs. Just as at home on stage at The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival as they are in the most intimate of listening rooms, Parker and James can adjust their dynamic to fit the occasion. Fans of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris will find a similar spell cast by Parker and James whose heady baritone and crystal bell tones Rolling Stone Magazine aptly described as “mesmerizing back porch music.” Learn more about the duo, and other events we host on our website: www.batonrougegallery.org

1726722000 Live Music Karma and the Killjoys Featuring Clay Parker & Jodi James Manship Theatre 2024-09-19 2024-09-19 7:30 PM 10:00 PM Karma and the Killjoys is classical piano turned rock band. Loud key-smashing chords dueling with gritty electric guitar, powerful, raw female voices and a thick chorus of harmonies is the strange and compelling concoction the band calls piano-rock. Ever pushing the bounds of what that means, Karma and the Killjoys expand their musicality with every song, both embracing and defying the genre–and therefore defining it. And nothing could be truer for the band’s newest collection of songs. Synthetic contemplates the performance of existing, the falsehoods of organized religion, and the vengefulness of the cog to its machine. Karma and the Killjoys weave the dread of an impending darkness and a jaded view of the world into songs that translate that darkness into a scream of purpose and hope. It is Karma and the Killjoys at their rawest, most vulnerable, and perhaps, most powerful. ‍ Karma and the Killjoys is Rain Scott-Catoire (piano, vocals, songwriting), Sydni Myers (vocals, songwriting), Thomas Vercher (drums), and Tim Marchand (guitar). ‍ ‍Manship Theatre does not authorize third party ticket sellers.
