Winners of this year's Big Easy Award, the Lost Bayou Ramblers weave the message of coastal restoration throughout their energetic Cajun music. National Wildlife Federation will be gathering stories from attendees about their way of life, the impacts of the oil spill, and what needs to happen to recover and to move coastal Louisiana toward a sustainable future. We will help to send this message to the world via social media and our website. Download the event flyer here.
NWF is organizing this concert for the people of Venice and coastal Louisiana in thanks for the assistance they have provided us and for their hard work. With oil still gushing from the floor of the Gulf, we are taking the time to celebrate the traditions that make Louisianans so resilient - a little humor in the face of disaster, a little fun where we can make it, and an enduring spirit that says we can survive this together.

11/05/09 - GORDON GANO & THE RYANS - Greetings to all friends and fans of the Lost Bayou Ramblers. We wanted to share some info about two shows that we are really excited about this coming weekend on Friday in New Orleans and on Saturday in Lafayette. LBR will be supporting new friends Gordon Gano & The Ryans both nights. For those of you may not recognize the name Gordon Gano, he was the voice and pen of original post-punk, alternative acoustic band Violent Femmes. The bands debut album from 1983, Violent Femmes, featuring the hits "Blister in The Sun", "Gone Daddy Gone", and "Add It Up", amongst others, has sold millions of records since its release and influenced bands as diverse as The Arcade Fire, Ween, They Might Be Giants, The Avett Brothers, and Gnarls Barkley.
Gano has teamed with musicians Billy and Brendan Ryan who many remember from the band The Bogmen. The Ryan Brothers have also gone on to have a successful career in the movie industry creating the soundtracks for such films as Fever Pitch, starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore, and The Heartbreak Kid starring Ben Stiller.
Together, Gordon Gano & The Ryans will be playing songs from there new release Under The Sun, on Yep Roc records, as well as Femmes' classics sure to take the crowd back to an arguably better time in pop music.
