Hard driving, witty, eclectic, and honest, the music of the Red Stick Ramblers is inseparable from their way of life and the rich Louisiana culture that first inspired them. My Suitcase Is Always Packed is their newest album on Sugar Hill Records. It is as much a travelogue as a sound recording, complete with audio snapshots of relentless all-night dances, laid back campfire sessions, dusty honky-tonks, and raucous family reunions. This performance will showcase the Ramblers' unique hybrid of Cajun, country, stringband, and swing influences that have kept the group at the very forefront of a new generation of Louisiana roots musicians who are reinventing their tradition while remaining deeply aware of their heritage.
