Chuck Perkins (Small Talk From St Claude and St Roch)
Chuck Perkins
Chuck Perkins is a Jazz Poet, orator, narrator, and activist who infuses the rhythms and vernacular from the Crescent City into his musical spoken word pieces. British music writer Garth Cartwright refers to Chuck Perkins as "the spiritual offspring of Gil Scott-Heron." Chuck has opened internationally at Londons prestigious South Bank Center for poetic icon Amiri Baraka. He has performed in Santiago, Cuba and many cities in Europe including Paris, Toulouse, London, Manchester, Liverpool, Cambridge, Berlin, Munich, and Amsterdam.
Courtney Bryan
Composer and pianist Courtney Bryan never followed the most straightforward path to artistic success. Drawing mostly from jazz but also incorporating experimental music, gospel, classical and R&B, her work defies easy characterization. While some of her compositions have been religious, she describes her music as bridging the line between the sacred and the secular, and her art also unflinchingly explores historical themes and political issues. As she composes each fearless piece of music, she follows her own truth, her own journey.
Brian Quezergue
Brian Quezergues introduction to music began as child while accompanying his father, legendary composer and arranger, Dr. Wardell Quezergue, on various performances and recording sessions. Although never forced to play an instrument during childhood, from his father Brian garnered a love for music and learned the importance of diligence, practice, and the knowledge of ones instrument. Due to this early exposure, no prodding was necessary; Brian decided to become a musician.
Initially Brian studied the piano, but later became enamored with the bass guitar. His formal training began in 1993 at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) and the Jazz and Heritage School of Music where he was instructed by some of New Orleans most respected and accomplished talents such as Clyde Kerr Jr., Edward Kidd Jordan and Elton Heron. During Brians tenure at NOCCA, he was given the esteemed opportunity to play alongside his mentors. Concurrent to this scholastic period, his persistence and hard work paid off as he was offered and accepted the position of the primary bass player for his fathers band, The Wardell Quezergue Orchestra.
Antoine Drye

Nell Simmons has opened for artists like Avant, and performed on world-class stages and events such as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Nell is preparing her first EP which is set to release in 2019. Her current music is soft and vulnerable.
