The six-member band’s onstage chemistry reflects a seamless combination of soul and movement that hits the audience within the first few notes. Virgin listeners and avid fans alike are drawn in by the distinctive sound that feels both familiar and original. Outfitted for each performance in colorful\, carefully selected suits\, it’s clear their focus is sharp and the party has begun. This is the work of professional musicians who’ve found their passion\, and are living a dream where everyone’s welcome. \nSecond line brass and Cuban-Caribbean rhythms meld with R&B\, soul\, rock\, and hip-hop beats in high-energy performances that turn every show into a celebration. New Orleans is influence itself\, the unparalleled free and easy city weaving its way into track after track of original scores that make up a single definition of sound\, which Flow Tribe has dubbed “backbone-cracking music.” \nK.C. O’Rorke (vocals\, trumpet)\, John-Michael Early (harmonica\, washboard\, vocals\, keyboard)\, Russell Olschner (drums)\, Chad Penot (bass\, vocals)\, Bryan Santos (guitar\, timbales)\, and Mario Palmisano (guitar) are native New Orleanians and high school pals who’ve been writing music and playing live shows since the band’s inception in 2004. Post graduation\, they went their separate ways\, but after Katrina\, each returned to their hometown\, inherently becoming active members in the rebuilding of a community that’s stronger than ever. Flow Tribe may well be the city’s next music ambassadors. \nWith two full-length albums and several EPs under their belt\, the crew is currently building Downman Sounds\, a studio in New Orleans East where they expect to cut their next record. The Tribe can be found crisscrossing the US just about every week of the year\, from Key West to California\, including regular performances at the notable New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest and Voodoo Fest. Look for their next project to be released in early ‘17\, a full length album entitled “BOSS” produced by New Orleans’s own Mannie Fresh. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nPurchasing a General Admission ticket does not guarantee a seat/table. \nBar area seating is first-come\, first-serve. \nAdditional reservations are not required if a booth\, table\, or banquette has been purchased via Ticketfly. \nPLEASE NOTE: If earlier dinner reservations are made\, your seats are not guaranteed for the show.

She began singing professionally with her family’s gospel group when she was five. “I always say I was born singing\,” Reed has said in a biographical release. “I can still remember my first performance when I was a 3-year-old in my aunt’s church. I used to listen to rehearsals with her gospel choir and I’d sing ‘I Wanna See Jesus’ in front of the congregation…It’s a natural\, God-given talent.” \nAfter marrying young\, the everyday struggles of life kept Reed from pursuing her dream of singing full-time until her children were older. Fortunately\, she was able to sing in local jazz clubs and at various functions in Phoenix. She became known for her powerful voice and commanding stage presence\, and delivered an eclectic blend of jazz\, blues\, and R&B. She was often the opening act for such headliners as Miles Davis\, Etta James\, Smokey Robinson\, and the Crusaders. \nIn 1985\, friends introduced Reed to Lyle Lovett\, who was searching for a female singer \nfor his new band. Lovett was still a struggling\, virtually unknown performer when they began their association\, but as his star rose\, Reed became an integral part of his show. Reed began touring with Lovett and his Large Band as a background vocalist\, and also often performed duets with the country musician. She was featured with Lovett on several albums\, and appeared with him on television shows such as “Late Night with David Letterman\,” “The Tonight Show\,” and “Regis and Kathy Lee.” \nIn the mid 1990s\, she decided to pursue a solo career and moved to Atlanta\, Georgia. Here she recorded her debut solo album\, “I Want You to Love Me\,” which featured a duet with Lyle Lovett. Her follow-up\, “Can’t Make It On My Own\,” featured a duet with Delbert McClinton. The success of these early works resulted in nominations for the prestigious W.C. Handy Award. (Blues Song of the Year and Soul/Blues – Female Artist of the Year – 1997) \nReed continued to release several solo albums and has collaborated with other great performers\, as well. She performed on Willie Nelson’s acclaimed album Milk Cow Blues (2000)\, lending her soulful voice to the title track as well as to the song “Funny How Time Slips Away.” She has also contributed vocals to the recordings of Delbert McClinton and Roy Orbison. \nFrancine Reed has become one of Atlanta’s most treasured artists and continues to expand her fan base at venues around the country. For several months out of the year\, she performs in Seattle or San Francisco\, appearing as the Chanteuse for Teatro ZinZanni. She describes the avant-garde production as “Cirque du Soleil meets dinner-in-the-round\, on acid.” Reed continually blesses audiences with her amazing vocals and vibrant personality; she is truly a musical experience that should not be missed. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nPurchasing a General Admission ticket does not guarantee a seat/table. \nAdditional reservations are not required if booth\, table\, or banquette tickets have been purchased via Ticketfly. \nPLEASE NOTE: If earlier dinner reservations are made\, your seats are not guaranteed for the show.
