PLAZA SERIES: Detweiler New Orleans Jazz Funksemble

Scott Detweiler is an American artist, born and raised in the Uptown neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. Over the course of his 30 year career, his catalog of albums has chronicled his evolution from a folk singer-songwriter, into a highly unique composer/performer, blending the styles of funk, jazz, blues, gospel & soul. His lyrics tell imaginatively woven stories that follow in the grand writing tradition of southern writers. He is a true son of the rich musical climate and one-of-a-kind culture that is the Crescent City. It is these influences that are in the soul of his creations and evident in his live performances, whether solo, in chamber group or backed by his New Orleans Jazz Funksemble.
