On October 4, the fourth fall season of Sunday in the Park plans to party Louisiana style with Fete Louisiana featuring Feufollet and Cedric Watson. Both celebrate their Creole roots and spice it up with Cajun, Zydeco originals. Fiddles, accordians, and flavorful voices make the Louisiana sounds as sultry as ever to kick off the fall season.
 
On October 11, the Joe Krown Trio with Walter Wolfman Washington and Russell Batiste, Jr. present a killer collaboration between three of New Orleans' greatest players. Featured as a Fricke's pick from Rolling Stone Magazine, the trio promises to put down some funk as they frequently do live at the Maple Leaf in New Orleans. Washington often picks the guitar with his teeth and sings in a salty growl. Batiste from the Funky Meters is a steady engine and Krown, amazing on piano and organ, blends his grooves in that special New Orleans way.
 
On October 18, Streamline, presents their simple yet effective music philosophy. They make music that is relevant to everyone and establish a connection to community through music. They create a sound that is truly demographic-less, multi generational and all-appealing. In a big sea of average rock bands and contemporary artists, Streamline's honesty and integrity resonates deeply with listeners and provides the right amount of grit and groove.
 
On October 25, Greg Hayden and Vintage take a bit of the past and mold it with the sounds of contemporary artists. Influences like Jackson Browne, Gordon Lightfoot and James Taylor come to play with Hayden's dry, up front vocals and steady piano parts to bring home a message with attitude. Refreshingly, Hayden pursues his music with reckless abandon and produces something truly unique.
 
On November 1, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, is always up to the challenge with its bracing, innovative blend of traditional New Orleans sounds and modern jazz sensibilities. Mixing intriguing approaches to familiar material in a context that emphasizes their original creations, they resurrected, revitalized and put a distinctly personal stamp on the tradition of New Orleans brass bands. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band inspired a full-on revival with several new members, and each generation brings its own special twist.
 
On November 8, Sunday in the Park concludes with Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue and will mesmerize and deliver a high-energy funk rock show.  Troy Trombone Shorty Andrews is equally adept on trombone and trumpet, and is a man to be reckoned with on both. Wynton Marsalis said of him, "Troy possesses the rarest combination of talent, technical capability and down home soul. I'm his biggest fan."
 
Each Sunday in the Park concert showcases a rare talent and special soul. Don't miss out on any of these free concerts taking place from noon -3 p.m. at Lafayette Park at the Shaw Center for the Arts.
