About This Event
Holy Locust is an American Folk band pushing the boundaries of genre and tradition. With songs ranging from the aggressive and experimental to melodic and anthemic. Their evocative group vocal harmonies ascend over dynamic rhythms and catchy melodies, while orchestral strings┬ pull and wail. Their genre bending sound is as at home in a listening room or theatre as it is underneath a highway overpass or punk house basement. Holy Locusts music is a unique and at times haunting statement of defiance against the exploitation of consumer culture.Based in New Orleans, Yes Maam combines street music and 20s style blues to create their original sound. Born from punk ethics and refined by years of performing alongside The Big Easys most talented street musicians.
