Located in Lafayette, The Shake Backs are a passionate force to be reckoned with. By fusing classic rhythms of Rockabilly with unexpected lo-fi accents, they exceed the barriers of both genres and reside in a completely unique domain all their own. The four-piece was formed in 2015 with: Gabe Bates on vocals and acting as primary songwriter, Micah Gill on lead guitar, Grant Gauthreaux on bass, Paul Louviere on drums. Poignant and sentimental lyrics in the style of parables, sung in a lamenting fashion by their front man, are the cornerstone of this band’s appeal. These dynamic words have a southern sage-like resonance which epitomize the human experience and may cause an emotional stirring deep within the pit of spirit.

Fusing R&B with elements of Soul, the musical force known as Sailor Mouth has emerged. Gino Vallecillo on vocals and drums, Ryan Domingue on bass, and Josh Menard on guitar. Sailor Mouth was formed in early 2017 based in Lafayette, Louisiana. The power trio was born to evoke the warm timeless feeling of their classic influences like Sam Cooke, Bill Withers, and Donny Hathaway blended with elements of neo soul influences such as Gary Clark Jr., Anderson .Paak, and D’Angelo. The trio’s live show is an aggressive, emotional, and in-you-face ride that also showcases each of the individual players with music breaks, hits, stops, and solo sections.
