PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION



Nardy Boy Fat Tuesday Celebration

Nardy Boy is one crazy-ass mash up of funk, 2nd line, blues and jazz motifs and deeply soulful singing. Led by New Orleans' own Renard Boissiere, the band swings to a variety of grooves planned and impromptu, and his vocals are often punctuated by an eclectic set of scat and vocal efx. Nardy Boy shows often feature guest musicians who stop by and sit in as the band drops the cool vibe, flowing from old-time tunes in a hip-hop style and elevating 2nd line struts from the streets of Treme, all setting the stage for highly danceable, extended jams.


Nardy Boy grooves those N’Awlin’s vibes, you’ll swear you got left smack dab in the middle of Uptown on Oak St. on a Saturday night!

Renard has performed live with the Neville Brothers, Delfeayo Marsalis, recorded with Rock-n-Roll Hall of Famers Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz, and joined Mystic Bowie on the launch of his inaugural Talking Dreads project. He’s also opened for acts as varied as Odetta, the TomTom Club, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Porter, Batiste & Stolz (PBS), and the Psychedelic Furs.

This show is 21+.
