Saturday, January 17: Leah Graeff
Leah Graeff has been a teaching visual artist in Lafayette for many years. She’s also an entrepreneur who has been involved in multiple local enterprises. You’ve probably also heard her singing backing vocals with many local performing artists. Come see Leah step in front of the band and present her very own artistic vision. In 2023 Leah released her album Little Things. Leah’s songs are nursery rhymes of the definitely wise variety, as breezy melodies mix with brooding lyrics to offer winking lessons on life and love. Her songs are a sweet, and lulling steady look at the kind of emotional rollercoaster every listener living a full life can recognize. This record was made with friends Allison Bohl DeHart, Peter DeHart, and Chad Viator.

Sunday, January 18: Ordinary Elephant & Tommy Shreve with John Jeansonne
Mesmerizing folk duo Ordinary Elephant has spent the better part of the last decade on a never-ending tour that’s earned married couple Crystal and Pete Damore widespread critical acclaim and made fans of luminaries like Tom Paxton and Mary Gauthier. The band’s new stripped-down, self-titled collection is the purest distillation of their sound yet, showcasing the arresting power of the couple’s gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs are timeless, rooted in rich, character-driven storytelling, and the performances are similarly transportive, fueled by delicately intertwined banjo, guitar, and octave mandolin. https://www.ordinaryelephant.net/
We also welcome the return of renowned Louisiana guitarist Tommy Shreve with champion fiddler John Jeansonne! Tommy performed a sellout show at NUNU last year. He has been a big part of the South Louisiana music scene since the 60s. Many will remember him as part of the Red Beans and Rice Revue, with frequent performances at the legendary Jay’s Lounge in Cankton. Joining Tommy will be award winning fiddler John Jeansonne. John is a two time Louisiana Fiddle champion and former member of the Rascal Flatts band and also Leanne Womack’s band.
