Ryan “Shaggadelic” BatisteRyan Batiste, known as the artist Shaggadelic, was born into a classic New Orleans multi-generational musician family.

Dreux GerardDreux Gerard has the quiet soul of an introverted engineer, which you might never guess seeing him on stage, playing guitar and confidently fronting his self-titled solo project, or drumming with his current lineup of bands: Butte, Kelly Duplex, Juno Dunes, and occasionally Tasche and the Psychedelic Roses.

MICHELLE HANKSMichelle Hanks came to music somewhat late in life. Though she’d always been a visual artist and loved to sing, it took until 2017, a year of major personal upheaval, for her to unite with a bass. Two years later, she and drummer Ana De Ferreira formed the heavy psych duo Spitfire.

SIMON LOTTSimon Lott was born and raised in Louisiana, though watching him perform puts his Earthling status into question. By incorporating dozens of genres and unusual hardware and techniques into his live shows, Lott creates a push and pull with organic sounds, giving off a human-robot hybrid essence. The creator of Very Cherry, Context Killer, and We Gon Do Dis pulled up at the first base of Wisner Playground on a stormy late-summer day, in a full body suit and mask.
