The Soggy Po Boys, native to New England, have quickly become an institution.
​They are spreading the good news of New Orleans music across the northeast and beyond,
playing at concert halls and street corners; music festivals and burlesque festivals;
bars and libraries; wherever the party requires.
Part of the beauty of New Orleans music is that it’s celebrated and appreciated wherever it goes, from the street to the theater.

The Po Boys formed in 2012 to shake the walls of a local club on a Fat Tuesday
but have honed their sound and become more than a Mardi Gras centerpiece.
Exploring the vast musical traditions of New Orleans and expanding their repertoire
to look beyond NOLA jazz, the band includes traditional Caribbean tunes
(it’s been said that New Orleans is the northernmost city in the Caribbean),
as well as Meters funk, soul, and brass band / street beat music.

There are a myriad of traditions that flow into New Orleans culture just as there
are tributaries that feed the Mississippi, and the Po Boys are eager to explore
what makes the music of New Orleans so damn special.
You’ll hear the heavy influence of the New Orleans sound across the band
and in the stories told by their original tunes. In line with the scope of its sound,
the outfit is eight people and thrives on the interplay and group dynamics
that bring this music to life.
