Harmonies aren’t dead, at least not in Motel Radio’s case. The four piece from New Orleans builds silky, melodic guitar waves for their stacked vocals to surf across. Breezy, but intentional; pop-minded, yet psychedelic, their tunes are as likely to stick with songwriter buffs as they are deadheads. The group is taking time to record their debut full length after a couple years of heavy touring behind their first 2 EPs.
Maggie Koerner describes herself as “Shreveport bred, New Orleans fed. Singer, songwriter & touring woman who enjoys good coffee and long walks with Tom.” She can also be described as a powerful, versatile performer who should not be missed. Catch her (and maybe Tom, the Tour Dog) at La Poubelle!
Dragon Smoke is a band that formed as part of the New Orleans Jazz Fest tradition known as the “Superjam”. The “Superjam” idea is to put together a band of people who don’t normally play together and see what happens. With the dual vocals of Neville and Lindell, matched with the Galactic rhythm section, the band quickly realized, “We are on to something” and has played every Jazz Fest since it’s inception in 2003. This inception took place at the famed Dragon’s Den, hence the name of the band.
The music centers around Lindell’s blue eyed soul , Neville’s funk and R&B, and Galactic’s groove. Besides a few trips to the West Coast, this band has been strictly playing in New Orleans. With everyone in the band being a leader on their own, it is rare to get this band together. And when it does, it shows that these guys are really having FUN! From the interplay between the members, you would think that Dragon Smoke has been playing shows forever.
Dragon Smoke is looking towards the future, with plans to write and record an album and to do more touring outside of New Orleans and the Bay Area. So be on the lookout for the Smoke—IF YOU SEE SMOKE, YOU KNOW YOU WILL SEE FIRE!
