Blues on the Coast: Honey Island Swamp Band

Named after a swamp near the border of Louisiana and Mississippi, the Honey Island Swamp Band mixes blues, country, soul, and R&B with swampy New Orleans rhythms.
Hailing originally from New Orleans, the Bayou Americana outfit formed in San Francisco, where Aaron Wilkinson (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Chris Mule (guitar, vocals), Sam Price (bass, vocals), and Garland Paul (drums, vocals) were all evacuees from New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
