I am currently working on putting together an engagement video for a friend and his fiancee who are taking the plunge in New Orleans later this year. In order to keep it unique, I wanted to try and use an all New Orleans soundtrack.

Figured I'd seek out the advice of the Music Board to see if anyone could point me towards current, local bands from New Orleans or other parts of SE La. Looking for something preferably funky or brassy (although if brassy, less of an R&B feel and more of a big band sound).

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Bonerama

3 Trombone + guitar+bass+drums

1 of the Bones is mic'd and hooked up to a pedal board.

Best possible choice, I guarantee!

Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I'm just surprised that so many of the groups/musicians listed have been around for at least the decade.

I dig Bonearama and completely forgot about them. Anders Osborne too.

Does New Orleans have such a dearth of new, quality talent or am I just looking in the wrong genre?

Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns is another good one to check out. Great jazz.

If you want a good variety, you could just get the Treme' soundtrack. That would give you more than enought to work with.

I put both soundtracks on one playist, along with some more Kermit, Snooks, Lindell, and a few others--GREAT party album for folks who love this music!
