Artist at Large... Big Chief Monk Boudreaux is as much a part of the spirit seared into the music of Louisiana & New Orleans as any other cultural icon. His combination of Native American, Creole, blues, and jazz sensibilities are all present in his romping and stomping get-down sound and style. He truly is the epitome and living breathing definition of “Let the Good Times Roll.” Drawing from voodoo kings, medicine men, and occult figures of Southern myth, folklore and legend, Boudreaux delivers infectious dance rhythms and shuffles as a priority. Big Chief Monk Boudreaux's music reminds us where essentially all the roots of American music have come from, and where it continues to live.
