d.b.a. with Kristin Diable
Kevin O'Day will perform with the very gifted singer and songwriter Kristin Diable at 10 pm, Sunday July 18th at d.b.a. on Frenchmen Street. "I was fortunate to meet Kristin right when she first came back to New Orleans, after she had been living in New York. I was working for NewOrleans.com at the time and did an interview with her, and through that got to know her story and her music kind of at the same time. I became an instant fan", says O'Day. Kristin's low key, moody ballads and quiet intensity will combine with Kevin's graceful touch on the drums to produce a sound that for sure will be intriguing and captivating.
"There’s a young woman out of south Louisiana who has got some serious chops, a peroxide, leggy crooner with the a soul like Lucinda Williams, the confidence of Grace Slick and the voice of a decades-ago Bonnie Raitt..... It was Kristin Diable. Devil in a white dress. Biggest thing out of Baton Rouge since rush hour." - JAZZFEST review from Pulitzer Prize winning columnist, Chris Rose.
kod & the wolfman reunite

So, it will be back to d.b.a., where Stevie Wonder dropped in one night and played the whole second set with the band. "I am looking forward to playing Walter's incredible arrangements and originals. This will be a great night", says O'Day. The Roadmasters include: Jack Cruz on bass, Jimmy Carpenter on Sax, Antonio Gambral on Trumpet, and Rick Fletcher on organ. 10:00 pm on Frenchmen Street.
