Got my ticket. If you can make it, here is what you are walking into.

The singer

Indys Blu is a New Orleans vocalist who leads with her own songs, not a book of standards. OffBeat has praised her writing, her phrasing and her delivery, and noted how much her stage presence and full band have grown. At the Jazz & Heritage Foundation’s Chanteuse Series she won over a room that mostly did not know her music yet. Her 2024 Jazz Fest set on the Congo Square Stage paired slower originals with duets alongside singer Tre Billy, with saxophonist Utopia Francois stepping out on solos.

That is the kind of artist I go out for: somebody whose songs carry the night. Forty years in the room teaches you to listen for the writer under the voice.
