| Eryn Shewell Returns To New Orleans Eryn Shewell knows what it means to miss New Orleans. The award-winning artist blends rock, jazz, blues, and soul together in the same way the sounds can be heard throughout The Big Easy on any given night. She fell in love with the city when she first performed on a New Orleans stage a few years ago, and has returned for four tours of the city. This March, she'll return for a fifth. "New Orleans is the greatest city in the world, " said Shewell. "A home away from home. I never feel more like myself than when I'm down there. Beautiful culture and a beautiful city. I hope to someday move there." Four dates have already scheduled and more are expected to be added shortly. Dates include: March 2nd - Neutral Ground Coffee, 5110 Danneel Street March 6th - Cafe Negril, 606 Frenchmen Street March 7th - Cafe Negril, 606 Frenchmen Street March 10th - Checkpoint Charlies, 501 Esplanade Avenue In previous trips, Shewell has shared the stage with artists like Walter Wolfman Washington, Eric Lindell, The Soul Project, and Saaraba. She's also shared bills with Marcia Ball, Sonny Landreth, The Radiators, John Hammond, Johnny A, and Shannon McNally. An adopted member of the New Orleans music community, she lent a hand to the latest record by Walter Wolfman Washington during one trip. Shewell's most recent release, 4th & Broadway, was released at the end of 2009. She has been nominated for several Asbury Music Awards within the past few years and took home the award for Top Female Vocalist in 2009. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Jazz News :: home page |
