Featuring...
An atmospheric blend of blues, pop, folk, and jazz styles

New Orleans-based Zonada is also an award-winning instrumental music composer and arranger. His emotional songwriting, powerful vocals and creative guitar playing combine to create an unforgettable atmosphere and experience.

Drawing on a rich musical legacy via her father, blues legend Charlie Musselwhite, Layla grew up on the road steeped in the music of the greatest blues artists of our time. She reinvents blues classics and plays her beautiful open tuning originals like a juke joint time machine where 70’s soul kisses the blues of the 1930’s, in a city where legends and legacies are everywhere & the river runs through it.

His debut album, “Naked Poetry,” hit the #27 slot as best-selling pop album on the global charts during its first week in release.
