"The album is going to be about shapes. It’ll be the best brass band record anybody’s ever heard. I feel like I went from writing a throwaway record to writing a record we might win a Grammy for. Conceptually, this shit is going to be insane.”

“The sound, the brand—how I look at it is Congo Square in rap form. The Louis Armstrong horn if it could rap. I’ve transitioned from being a kid that grew up on Edinburgh Street in Hollygrove to traveling the world and seeing a lot of things."

“We don’t fly around in a private jet. We don’t drive fancy cars to gigs. Any band has to work its way up and push itself. We do a lot of road hours.”

“Once you walk in, there’s a lot of loud speaking over each other, speakerphone happening, orders going down to the kitchen, people bouncing in and out of the windows. It’s just like this city, there’s nothing ever calm about it.”

The Cajun country super food that once required a trip westward along the I-10 is making inroads in New Orleans.

"I have heard some pretty weak versions of my songs, but I go back to that thing of songwriting being one of the oldest forms of communication. It’s exciting to create something that other people will pass along."
