Arts Council of Pointe Coupee Performing Arts Series: Taylor Frey and The Krickets (Postponed)
Julien Poydras Museum and Art Center 500 West Main Street, New Roads, Louisiana 70760
The Arts Council of Pointe Coupee continues to showcase its thirteenth annual Performing Arts Series. The 2020 PAS comes packed with high-energy musicians who have been favorites at the French Quarter Festival and Jazz Fest in New Orleans, as well as with some strong regional vocalists who have come highly recommended by PAS patrons. This August, check out:
• August 16, Taylor Frey and Roots Run Deep Band: Pointe Coupee native Taylor Elizabeth Frey is a singer, songwriter, film maker, and agricultural enthusiast. Born and raised in Morganza, Frey’s fondest memories happened on the back roads where her family’s farm, Four Oaks, still stands. She released her first music video for "Too Much Water, Not Enough Rain" in June 2019, a son which tells the story of the Mississippi River flooding in 1973 and 2011. Taylor and her band of Pointe Coupee musicians are excited to share their love of music with a local audience.
• August 22, The Krickets: A trio of female vocalists from Panama City, Florida, The Krickets are an Americana group whose music Paste Magazine calls "a truly stunning, one-of-a-kind sound." With a specialty in swamp harmony, the group's genre-bending songwriting has allowed them to play for diverse audiences from listening rooms to official performances at SXSW. The title track of their 2018 album, Redbird, was named Alternative Country Song of the Year at the 2019 Independent Music Awards.
