Leon was nurtured on music in a family setting as he grew up. He matured, gaining discipline and a strong work ethic, as a trumpet player in the Southern University Band. After founding the Zydeco Flames with his father and with Russell Labbe while he was at Southern, he went on to manages businesses before deciding to devote himself full time to a career in zydeco. < Zydeco Acts < Previous Next > Lawtell, Louisiana, USA Leon Chavis and the Zydeco Flames Zydeco Acts On their second CD, Holla at Me , Leon Chavis and the Zydeco Flames offer smooth, polished contemporary zydeco that also draws on the energy and power of old style music played by Leon’s cousin, the late Boozoo Chavis. As Leon explains in an interview with Herman Fuselier in the liner notes, he wanted to convey his positive outlook on life in songs like “Everything Going to Be All Right” and to celebrate family values in songs like “Daddy Loves You.” His own life is centered on his wife and two children and, of course, his music. His father, Joseph “Chopper” Chavis, an R& B singer from way back, is a member of the band and one of the co-producers of the CD. Leon was nurtured on music in a family setting as he grew up. He matured, gaining discipline and a strong work ethic, as a trumpet player in the Southern University Band. After founding the Zydeco Flames with his father and with Russell Labbe while he was at Southern, he went on to manages businesses before deciding to devote himself full time to a career in zydeco. The band now performs both locally and around the nation as well as overseas. On stage, Leon Chavis’ friendly, inviting smile alone could win over audiences. The title cut, “Holla at Me,” conveys that open, receptive attitude, asking fans to “holla at me,” whether in person in a club or on a trailride or electronically through his MySpace page. The closing cut is a remix with guest Chris Ardoin, a nice instance of some zydeco friendship instead of rivalry. “My Baby” features vocals by Chopper Chavis, who plays keyboard, and most cuts offer harmony vocals that may also include rubboard player Russel Labbe and guitarist Gabriel “Pandy” (Guitar Gable Jr.) Perrodin. Other band members on the CD are Derick Woods on bass and Eric Singleton on drums. The CD has16 cuts, all originals except two Boozoo covers: “Tell Me What You Want” and “Play with Your Poodle.” BOOK DIRECT: https://www.14thfloormusic.com/product-page/booking-information-for-leon-chavis-and-the-zydeco-flames

A Guide To The Vocabulary Of Venues, Tours, And Gigs. Download PDF A Guide To The Vocabulary Of Venues, Tours, And Gigs. Just like recording in the studio , playing live shows has a vocab that’s specific to its needs. From the moment you look into booking a show to the workout you’ll get loading out of the venue, you’ll be navigating the language of promoters, bookers, talent buyers, sound techs, and—if you hit the big time (or just want to create the illusion of it)—roadies. Here’s a breakdown of the terms you should know, whether you’re hitting the road for a cross-country tour or just rippin’ on down to your local dive bar. Backline: A backline usually refers to the non-instrumental sound-system equipment, like amps and speaker cabinets, that you need to play a gig. In many cases, depending on the gig and venue, it can also include instruments like drums (often minus the breakables) and keyboards. You’ll most often hear the term “backline” during logistics chats about a one-off festival date, where quick changes between acts are essential, so artists aren’t necessarily expected to have all their own gear with them. When that’s the case, the organizer should give you a rundown of what elements of the backline the venue will supply—gear brands, the size and power of amps, the number of pieces in the drum kit, and any other relevant details. Billing: The bill is the list of acts playing a show, and there are different kinds of billing. Headline billing refers to the situation where one act (the “headliner”) is the main feature of a show and is the reason why most people have showed up; that band or artist will occupy the top slot of any advertising literature and is usually represented in larger type than the supporting acts. Equal billing puts everyone on the same level. And there’s festival billing, which happens when there’s a high volume of performances stretching over multiple days or at least multiple stages, with more than one headliner. Acts will be broken down into tiers, the way you see it on a Coachella poster, for example. Breakables: Drummers on the same bill might share the bones of a kit, but they’ll rarely share the whole thing. Breakables are essentially the pricey or special parts of a drum kit—snare, cymbals, kick pedal, for example—that each drummer brings themselves. If you, as a drummer, are asked to bring only your breakables to a show, this is what they mean. Shells refers to the other components of the kit—toms, kick drum, stands—that are often provided by the headliner. This system not only helps keep turnover tight, but also saves your precious snare from abuse by a rogue heavy-hitter. Buyer: Usually referred to as a talent buyer, this person negotiates on behalf of the venue or event to determine how much you’ll be paid and works out any necessary contracts. DI (Direct Input) Box: A DI box creates a balanced signal. An unbalanced output can pick up unwanted noise, ruining the sound, so if you have an instrument that emits an unbalanced output (usually a keyboard, synth, or guitar), you can plug it into a DI box, which balances the output. The DI box plugs into a mixing console, which sends a noiseless signal through the speakers. Front of House: The front of house (or FOH) is the area where the soundboard and lighting controls are located. This is often a good distance from the stage, usually close to the center of the room, where technicians can see and hear everything from the perspective of the audience. Guarantee: This is the amount of money that you are guaranteed to get paid for a gig, regardless of net income. A “guarantee-plus-percentage” deal offers the guarantee plus a percentage of sales from tickets or alcohol, for example. Headliner: The top dogs on a bill. The headlining act is generally the big draw for a show, gets paid the most, plays the longest, and plays last. Load-in/Load-out: Load in is when you haul all your stuff from the van or the bus into the venue and on stage. Load-out is the exact opposite and was immortalized beautifully by Jackson Browne on his 1977 record Running on Empty . Mains: The main speakers for the front-of-house sound system. These are the speakers that provide the sound for the audience at a show. This is usually not the sound system that you, as an artist, will hear most clearly while on stage (that would be the monitor system, described in more detail below). Managers (Tour, Production, Stage): For a big touring production, many managers are needed. A tour manager is essentially the person responsible for keeping the show going, no matter what. Their responsibilities are nearly endless: they make sure that the artist gets where they need to go on time and is in good shape to be on stage, and they track down whatever is needed in whatever town the show stops in. A production manager makes sure the production—stage, sound, lights, performance, catering, etc.—is all set up at each show and ready to go, while also dealing with issues pertaining to equipment. They are involved with the production as long as the tour lasts. And a stage manager deals with all stage and backstage issues—things like checking backstage passes, supervising turnovers, and making technical adjustments as needed—at the specific venue and on the day the show happens, ensuring a hopefully seamless show. Monitors: The stage monitor system is what provides the sound for you while you’re on stage. It’s important to note that what you hear through the monitors (the speakers that face you and the back of the stage) will not be the same mix that the audience is hearing through the mains (see above). The monitor system is there so you can hear only what you need to hear while you’re performing. The FOH staff will watch you for cues such as pointing to a mic or other band member and then pointing up or down, indicating that you need more or less of something in your monitor. There are also in-ear monitors. Promoter: The person, company, or organization that is planning and spreading the word about an event. A promoter can be a single individual arranging and publicizing a one-off gig, or it can be a massive corporation (like Goldenvoice, for example) putting on a festival—or it can fall somewhere in between. Radius Clause: A radius clause dictates a geographical area where you may not perform during a specified time frame surrounding an event. It’s used to make your appearance exclusive to that event so that interest isn’t diluted. For example, if you’re playing the Eaux Claires festival in early July, your contract may state that you can’t perform in the state of Wisconsin between April and October. Rider: A rider is a part of your contract that stipulates what extras the promoter must provide. This is most often in the form of food and drink in the green room for before and after the show, but it can be expanded—depending on the situation—to include almost anything. There are countless stories about bands at the height of their popularity demanding bizarre things in their riders, including, perhaps most famously, Van Halen ’s request for a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed at every gig. But remember: the rider comes out of your money at the end of the day. So if you’re ordering puppies backstage, make a note—you’ll be paying for them. Roadie: This is a term usually reserved for an employee of a touring band who sets up and maintains equipment, but it can be used to describe pretty much any employee who tours with the band. They load in and load out, drive tour vehicles, ensure the security of instruments and artists, and keep the show on the road. Set/setlist: Your set is an allotted amount of time to play on stage; a headlining set is typically much longer than the sets for support acts. A setlist is the list of songs you plan to play during your set. You don’t need to plan and share your setlist beforehand, but if you’re working with the same crew for a number of shows, it’s a great resource for your sound and lighting techs especially. You can make things up as you go, too. But having a setlist makes it easier to keep the band and production crew on the same wavelength. Soundcheck: Ideally, a few hours or more before you hit the stage, you do a soundcheck. Soundcheck includes figuring out all the mix levels for the mains and monitors, so you get to indicate to the sound techs—or sometimes, more accurately, they might indicate to you—things such as how loud certain instruments should be or where a voice should be in the mix, and you work out any sound kinks so that your set sounds awesome. A line check is basically an expedited soundcheck, where you check levels quickly right at the beginning of your set and then the sound tech adjusts accordingly as you perform. (For instance, a line check is par for the course at festivals if you’re not a headliner.) Stage plot: A stage plot is a visual representation of what your set-up looks like. It indicates where amps, drums, keys, microphones, DIs, and anything else you’ve got in your arsenal goes. It’s usually just a simple drawing of where things go on stage, most often a digital image file, and is provided to the venue’s stage manager so they know how to prepare for your set. Strike: To strike something is to take it down and off the stage. That could mean an amp, an instrument, or the entire set-up for a band. Support: The opening act or acts for the headliners. Support acts get shorter set times and are usually there to warm up the crowd for the main event. Turnover: The time between sets that bands and techs have to shift the setup on stage from one band to the next. Turnovers are usually done as quickly as possible, and could entail striking one stage plot completely and replacing it with another, simply replacing everything but the backline, or even just leaving everything as is and having the bands share all gear. You want to avoid slowing down the turnover at all costs, as delays can eat into set times and create bad blood between acts.

Her music is a dueling hybrid of classic Memphis soul and the freewheeling swagger of New Orleans funk woven together with the sighing laughter of her ancestors: that Creole accordion. Assembling her group from the cream of the crop of Memphis musicians, Simien’s soulful voice smolders like a night star, fondly reminding us of a mysterious past while at once exciting us with the romance of an uncertain future.   < Zydeco Acts < Previous Next > Memphis, TN, USA MARCELLA and Her Lovers Zydeco Acts Creole families to settle in St. Landry Parish, Marcella René Simien planted the seeds of her South Louisiana heritage deep into the bluffs of Memphis, TN—no small victory for a young woman just now rounding out her mid-20’s. Simien is a natural in the truest sense. Daughter of two-time GRAMMY™ award winning Zydeco luminary Terrance Simien, she was practically born onstage, and grew up thoroughly immersed in sound and performance. Taj Mahal might sing her happy birthday (as he did for her 17th), or Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo might drop by the house for some gumbo. Despite her almost fairytale-like upbringing, Simien makes it her mission to forge her own pathways in the music business. A graduate of the prestigious Memphis College of Art, Simien boldly follows her heart in her role of bandleader. Her music is a dueling hybrid of classic Memphis soul and the freewheeling swagger of New Orleans funk woven together with the sighing laughter of her ancestors: that Creole accordion. Assembling her group from the cream of the crop of Memphis musicians, Simien’s soulful voice smolders like a night star, fondly reminding us of a mysterious past while at once exciting us with the romance of an uncertain future. As outspoken and courageous as she is sensual and feminine, Simien holds a wisdom far beyond her years. With each honeyed undertone, every saintly holler, with each twinkle of the keys, and every pump of the squeezebox, she reinvents the mold and soldiers against boundaries, yet she never fails to respect tradition. In addition to her extensive work with her own group, Marcella and Her Lovers, Simien was featured on her father’s most recent album “Dockside Sessions”, which won a GRAMMY™ in January of 2014 for Best Regional Roots Album of the Year. Marcella was recognized by the Recording Academy as a featured vocalist on GRAMMY™ award winning recording ‘Dockside Sessions' by Terrance Simien & the Zydeco Experience. Marcella was the sole vocalist on the song "Ava Magnolia" written by George G. Receli (Bob Dylan, Keith Richards) "Uncle George" who also produced 'Dockside Sessions.' In 2014 Marcella was featured on the cover of the Susan Schadt's cookbook Memphis: Sweet, Spicy and a little Greasy. Marcella also appeared in Samantha Crespo's book 100 things to do in Memphis Before You Die She has recorded with hip hop artist Cities Aviv, and was featured on the album “Digital Lows”(click album title to read the Pitchfork review from 2011). One of her contributions to the Cities project, the track “Black Box”, was featured on theindieplaylists.com (summer of 2011) compilation in the company of Arcade Fire, Mayer Hawthorne, Modest Mouse, Coldplay, and many others. Here's an article by Brooklyn Vegan about the album.

He testifies and believes that his latter days are going to be greater than his past. His charm, professionalism, passion for both humankind and his music along with his disarming, radiant smile and infectious laugh makes him a favorite amongst both his audiences and fellow musicians. < Easy Listening Roster < Previous Next > John Redmon Colorado Springs, CO, USA Easy Listening Acts Since age 5, John Redmon has had a deep love and appreciation for music. His mother, Cynthia Redmon, an accomplished pianist, took him under her wing and taught him the musical art, encouraging him to play alongside of her in various church services. By age 12, he was not only being encouraged by his mother and other piano instructors to play both by ear and sight, but also to compose original works. By 1994 Redmon decided to not just compose but house his original works within his own independent record label and named the company Reaching Records. The label’s purpose and motto was to ‘reach and touch hearts around the world.’ For the next twenty years, he did just that by producing and releasing multiple projects on his label that eventually gained national and international attention and recognition, including: A Woman’s Journey (featuring Grammy Award Nominees Vickie Winans, Brenda Nicholas and of course a motivational testimonial from his own mother Cynthia Redmon), John Redmon & Friends: Faith, Love and Unity, Volumes 1, 1.1 (featuring BeBe and CeCe Winans, Daniel Winans, Phil and Brenda Nicholas and Grammy Award winner Patti Labelle), S’Agapo (I Love You) – his first R&B / Pop Album which included covered the Whitney Houston classic “All At Once” , and his biggest and most successful/notable single release Thank You Lord (Story of the Shunamite Woman) that was highlighted at a Jimmy Swaggart Easter Conference. In 2015 he started The Piano Series under his label and not only recorded his Christmas Classics , Gospel Classics and Hymn Classics albums, but set up a tour to promote the records. Some of his special guest artists who dropped by to perform at his special events included George Sisneros, Ron McMillon and Thomas Dawson, Jr. music director of the Commodores. In 2016 Redmon performed The Star Spangled Banner at the Pepsi Center at the Nuggets vs Cavaliers game on February 21. In this same year, he created and hosted a weekly radio show called Matters of the Heart on JBCM radio that dealt with painful testimonials and sensitive, current issues that were sealed with hope. Some guests included: Grammy Award nominee Rodney Friend, Hollywood actress Linda Purl and his most popular interview to date…his mother Cynthia Redmon. In 2017 Redmon and Thomas Dawson, Jr. had a vision. The vision was to give children a voice, a pulpit, and a platform to sing, minister, testify, preach, pray, teach and evangelize the world for Jesus Christ. Believing that children have a voice and should not only be seen but also heard, Kids Love Jesus Too children’s praise and worship album was born and a movement began. The album highlighted kids of all ages from around the nation proclaiming their love for their Jesus in song, word and testimony. Guest artists included: Tina Lewis-Glenn, Theresa Morton, Phil & Brenda Nicholas, Katie Reeves, and Delaney Chough. Infectious songs like Little Things were birthed from this project and a kids tour was underway. Redmon has toured all over the United States and England with his inspirational messages found in both word, song, instrument and voice. He testifies and believes that his latter days are going to be greater than his past. His charm, professionalism, passion for both humankind and his music along with his disarming, radiant smile and infectious laugh makes him a favorite amongst both his audiences and fellow musicians.
