The GRAMMY-winning Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) and the two-time GRAMMY winners Lost Bayou Ramblers reunite once again for a special performance at New Orleans’ Orpheum Theater on Friday, November 1, 2024. The concert, titled Live with the LPO: Lost Bayou Ramblers & Sweet Crude, will feature a celebration of Louisiana French music and culture, with New Orleans’ own Sweet Crude as special guests.
The collaboration between the LPO and Lost Bayou Ramblers previously earned them the Best Regional Roots Album award at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards for their album Live: Orpheum Theater NOLA. The upcoming performance will feature a reproduction of this award-winning recording, along with a vibrant mix of indie-pop melodies from Sweet Crude, steeped in Louisiana French tradition. Together, the three acts will offer a dynamic showcase of the region’s rich cultural and musical heritage.
“It is deeply rewarding to be part of musical presentations that amplify and elevate Louisiana’s rich cultural and musical traditions,” says LPO Executive Director Anwar Nasir. “We are proud to have been able to share our music on a global scale alongside the Lost Bayou Ramblers and are excited to welcome them back along with the dynamic Sweet Crude. This is a performance you definitely don’t want to miss!”
Lost Bayou Ramblers’ Louis Michot shared similar sentiments, noting, “Performing with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra to showcase the heart and soul of Cajun music is an incredible honor. We want to celebrate our Louisiana French culture with the masses and can’t wait to do so alongside Sweet Crude.”
This event will unite three cultural powerhouses in an unforgettable evening of music, highlighting the fusion of the Ramblers’ raw Cajun rhythms with the LPO’s sweeping orchestral sounds, enhanced by Sweet Crude’s indie-pop flair. The concert will take place at the Orpheum Theater at 7:30 PM on November 1, 2024.
