One of those signs, slightly misremembered, was the inspiration for LOOSE CATTLE, the five-piece roots rock outfit declared “favorite Americana cowpunks in New Orleans” by OffBeat Magazine.  Led by the double-barreled frontperson duo of Kimberly Kaye (New Direxxion) and two time Tony Award and Grammy winner Michael Cerveris (Bob Mould band),  Loose Cattle is as passionate about stampeding through wild, Southern rock barn-burners as it is ambling through their gentler, harmony-drenched folk ballads...

Advance Tickets - $20Walkup Tickets (DOORS) - $25 + sales tax and feesLoose Cattle:Drivers of southern backroads know those bullet-riddled yellow signs that warn wanderlust motorists about the “Loose Livestock” claiming roadways as their own. One of those signs, slightly misremembered, was the inspiration for LOOSE CATTLE, the five-piece roots rock outfit declared “favorite Americana cowpunks in New Orleans” by OffBeat Magazine.  Led by the double-barreled frontperson duo of Kimberly Kaye (New Direxxion) and two time Tony Award and Grammy winner Michael Cerveris (Bob Mould band),  Loose Cattle is as passionate about stampeding through wild, Southern rock barn-burners as it is ambling through their gentler, harmony-drenched folk ballads. Their rootsy, worn-in original songwriting likewise veers between wry observations of human frailty and stalwart objection to the injustices of these times.  Kaye and Cerveris hammer out their differences in LOOSE CATTLE, welding them to a shared love of X, The Mekons, Johnny and June Carter Cash, Dolly and Porter, Neil Young, George and Tammy, John Prine, and Drive By Truckers. Their unholy marriage of might-as-well-be-blood harmonies and chiming guitars over the soulful, swampy rhythm section of Renè Coman and Doug Garrison (both of The Iguanas and Alex Chilton’s band) is stitched together with Rurik Nunan (Whiskey Gentry, Cracker)’s keening, fiery fiddle.  American Songwriter called the band’s debut album, Heavy Lifting, “a riveting effort from start to conclusion,” and No Depression declared that their holiday album, Seasonal Affective Disorder, “might be the best album of the season.” The band have a new album recorded with producer John Agnello (Son Volt, Dinosaur Jr,  Waxahatchee) with guest appearances from Lucinda Williams and Patterson Hood and Jay Gonzalez of Drive By Truckers headed for an early 2024 release. It's Americana music for the people America keeps forgetting.
