Camela Widad + Azro Cady + Smith & 9th Ward @ The Way Station

8pm- Camela Widad
Genre: Americana
For fans of: Emmylou Harris, Shawn Colvin, Carrie Newcomer or Josh Ritter

Camela Widad’s music is Americana Folk for the unpretentious music lover. A 2015 Grassy Hill Entertainment/Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist, her latest recording ‘Warriors of Love’, has garnered attention with her songwriting and laid back folk Americana style. She is a little bit old school folk meets ‘sit on the back porch on a hot summer night’, begetting a dichotomy: just a little bit saintly and a little bit rock-n-roll.

“Heavy stuff. This is not Taylor Swift territory. Could you imagine what Patsy Cline would think if she were able to hear a song like this one [Undefended Love]?” - No Depression

“Camela Widad is a welcomed newcomer to my activity as a promoter of roots music. Her CD (‘Warriors of Love’) shows how independent music is the best in today’s business.”
- Remo Ricaldone American Roots Radio Italy

10pm- Smith & 9th Ward
Genre: New Orleans Blues/Funk/Jazz
For fans of: New Orleans Jazz, Blues, Funk and Brass Band music

SMITH & 9th WARD is a combo in the New Orleans, funky and soulful tradition. We channel the likes of Dr. John, James Booker, Allen Toussaint and Professor Longhair to bring you New Orleans grooves with a Brooklyn attitude. We consist of members of the OUTER BOROUGH BRASS BAND and we love playing funky NOLA tunes, traditional jazz standards and low-down blues. SMITH & 9th WARD: New Orleans grooves with a Brooklyn attitude.

“Leyton-Brown’s physical stance at the keyboard comes closer to Joe Strummer than Dr. John, but she’s got skills that would make Mac Rebenack grin that trademark grin. Allison injected some old school stride into “Don’t Think Twice,” and her vocals on Crescent City classics like “Big Chief” and “Mardi Gras in New Orleans” were right on point. But it’s the little differences she brings that make her a not-so-secret weapon, like the Fender Rhodes sound she brought to the funky Scatassa original “BQEeze,” or the sizzling Clavinet vibe she conjured up toward the end of the second set that was straight out of Billy Preston’s “Outa Space.” Maybe the traditionalists might freak, but it’s a Brooklyn thing! They wouldn’t understand!” – J Hunter “Nippertown”

“After the bass drummer unexpectedly decided to lead a secondline into the bar room, which freaked out most of the people there, they came back in and kicked things up another notch. By this point, those of us who were dancing stopped caring about what the room full of lazy people thought, and we got up and got down in front of the band on a rousing finale.” – a fan
