This fall, New Orleans jazz exponents The Soggy Po Boys will celebrate the release of their 6th full-length album, Leave the Light On, in a series of not-to-be-missed release shows around the Northeast.

The Po Boys formed in 2012 to shake the walls of a local club on a Fat Tuesday but have honed their sound and become more than a Mardi Gras centerpiece. Exploring the vast musical traditions of New Orleans and expanding their repertoire to look beyond NOLA jazz, the band performs traditional Caribbean tunes (it’s been said that New Orleans is the northernmost city in the Caribbean), as well as Meters funk, soul, and brass band / street beat music.

The latest record captures the 7-piece band’s mission of embracing tradition without becoming a museum piece. By blending traditional and original songs, the album embraces themes of joy, frustration, loneliness, love, and sadness, and explores these feelings with the group’s trademark humorous sincerity.

Leave the Light On was recorded at Acadia Recording Company in Portland, Maine where it was tracked by Jason Phelps. Phelps helped to sculpt the sounds and provided a perfect environment to capture the essence of what the band loves most: playing live. The result is music that is very much grounded in the sonic liminal space that the Po Boys occupy best–happy-ish, live-ish, new-ish, and bull-ish.

“These guys have done their homework, worked it out on the bandstand and put in the hours in the studio. It all adds up to a party you can bring with you when you want to treat your friends to a real good time.” -Ben Schenck of New Orleans’ Panorama Jazz Band

“There’s no retro to their sound, no putting on airs, this is living music respectful of the source, played by consummate professionals.” -Syncopated Times
