Lilli Lewis Project at Siberia
Siberia Lounge 2227 St. Claude Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70117
Call it self-interest for musicians to claim music makes the world a better place, but it's hard to argue with their logic. Who can argue or curse or commit a crime when swept up in boogie-woogie? (This is not an invitation.) New Orleans' own Lilli Lewis Project, with its melodic take on morality, brings the "Radical Decency Revival" to Siberia Lounge for a six-month residency. Soul, gospel, jazz, funk, rock, and orchestral music are pumped out by a pan-generational lineup including Lilli Lewis on piano, Smokey Brown on guitar, Wade Hymel on drums, Ryan Murray on percussion, Ole Oddlokken on sax, and Dr. Jimbo Walsh on bass. Catch them every third Friday from July until December, promoting the upcoming record We Belong. 6 pm. Free. siberialounge.com.
