The group will also perform other vocal and instrumental pieces from Detweiler’s vast catalog of original compositions, as well as new arrangements from the classic American book of soul, blues and jazz, all infused with parade rhythms and foot-stompin' grooves of Detweiler’s own hometown of New Orleans.
