Bluesfest: Honey Island Swamp Band

The Honey Island Swamp Ban formed in the wake of Hurrican Katrina. To be precise, the four members were New orleans residents who got together while in weather-induced exile in San Francisco. They returned to their hometown in 2007 with some California living under the belts and continue to purvey assorted varieties of bayou funk to the masses. Chris Mulé: guitar, vocals
