EVENT DESCRIPTION
The Iguanas (New Orleans)
with guests Camile (New Orleans Radiators) & Curt (The Butanes)
New Orleans, Louisiana’s favorite sons, The Iguanas, bring the diverse sounds of their hometown’s fusion of blues, Latin, Zydeco, Cajun, Tex-Mex and Roots Rock for a return visit to the Hook & Ladder. Camile Baudoin of The Radiators and Curt Obeda of The Butanes Soul Revue open.
Based out of New Orleans for the past couple of decades save for a short, Katrina-imposed exile in Austin, the members of The Iguanas have (collectively or individually) played or recorded with everyone from Charlie Rich, Alex Chilton, and Willie DeVille to Emmylou Harris, Allen Toussaint, and Pretty Lights.
Through eight studio albums, countless tours and Jazz Fest appearances, their two-decade ride has taken them all over the map musically and geographically, yet the inescapable patina of their hometown infuses every note they play.
“Like the Meters and the Neville Brothers, The Iguanas fuse those many styles into a rock and roll funk.”– The Houston Press
Camile & Curt kick off the evening with a funky stripped-down set:
• Camille Baudoin (guitarist for The Radiators, the funky-bluesy-rocky band from New Orleans)
• Curt Obeda (guitarist/vocalist for The Butanes)
