The City of Slidell is excited to announce the complete lineup for the 24th annual Bayou Jam Fall Concert Series, featuring four free concerts and a special Veterans Day performance.The fall series kicks off Sunday, Oct. 4, with Flow Tribe at Heritage Park. Amanda Shaw and the Cute Guys will take the stage Oct. 11, followed by Felix and Fingers Dueling Pianos on Oct. 25. The series will conclude Nov. 8 with a special Veterans Day Concert featuring the Northshore Community Orchestra at the Slidell Municipal Auditorium.
“We are excited to welcome everyone back for another great season of Bayou Jam concerts,” said Slidell Mayor Randy Fandal. “Over the last 24 years, these concerts have become a tradition, bringing family and friends together to enjoy live music right here in Slidell. I encourage everyone in our community to come out and enjoy these concerts!”
Amanda Shaw first played Bayou Jam in March 2003 when she was just 15 years old. Since then, she has performed at Bayou Jam numerous times, and it’s always great to welcome her back to Heritage Park!
A Louisiana-born fiddle player and performer, Amanda Shaw blends Cajun tradition with the jazz, blues, funk and rock ’n’ roll influences of her native New Orleans. She began playing violin as a child and learned Cajun music at local fais do-dos, where seasoned musicians helped shape the sound she still brings to the stage today. By age 15, Shaw had signed a record deal with Rounder Records, appeared in two Disney films and was featured in the documentary Hurricane on the Bayou.
Since then, she has performed on national stages, including Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, the Today Show and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She has also shared the stage with many artists, including one of her idols, Cyndi Lauper. A The Louisiana Music Hall Of Fame inductee and Big Easy Award winner for Best Female Entertainer, Shaw has released nine albums and EPs and continues to bring Louisiana’s rich musical heritage to audiences around the world with her own energetic and modern sound.
Concertgoers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets and enjoy an evening of great music with family and friends. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. All regular concerts are free and open to the public.
