SUMMARY:New Orleans Swamp Donkeys
DESCRIPTION:The Swamp Donkeys are an extremely versatile group of youn
 g musicians who play traditional jass, blues, vaudeville, original mus
 ic, modern jazz adaptations, and many other jazz and New Orleans-deriv
 ed styles. They have beginnings and educations in the authentic, New O
 rleans, grassroots music scene, playing local festivals and second lin
 es, then transitions into world-class music education programs, playin
 g in concerts all over the globe. Their sound is enormously accessible
  with their frontmen, the Louis Armstrong-sounding, soulful and sweet 
 James Williams, and the audience-wooing, banjo-strumming, song-writing
  extraordinaire Sam Friend. (Though James does plenty of audience-wooi
 ng himself!)   The Swamp Donkeys can play large and small venues, inti
 mate crowds and boisterous audiences just the same. Formed recently in
  the fall of 2012, the band is coming off of an extremely successful y
 ear. After selling out the Blue Note NYC in February of 2014, the Donk
 eys released two brand new albums \"Swamp Donkey\" (all pre-1930s cove
 rs) and \"Donkey Business\" (all original material). They closed out t
 he first weekend of New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. The group 
 then gained international internet fame when their version of the Game
  of Thrones theme - performed at NYC's B.B. King's Blues Club - went v
 iral, garnering close to a million views!  They followed up this succe
 ss with a European tour featuring performances at JazzAscona in Switze
 rland, Vitoria-Gasteiz in Spain, the North Sea Jazz Festival in Nether
 lands, along with special appearances in France, Spain, and Monaco.  
  The Swamp Donkeys bring a remarkable, diverse appearance and sound to
  the stage; hailing from the south, north-east and -west, this melting
 -pot of American musical culture brings people together from all walks
  of life. Welcome to the most exciting, soulful, foot-tapping, New Orl
 eans-style band to storm the planet in years. Welcome to Original Jass
