New Orleans native and Oakland's own "Queen of New Orleans music," Michelle Jacques, along with distinguished vocalists, Rhonda Crane, Jay Lamont, Tammi Brown, and Bryan Dyer, perform music that is vibrant and alive – from Creole, jazz, funk, gospel, R&B and Zydeco, to the chants and stirring rhythms of Mardi Gras Indians. Juke Joint will take you on a raucous ride through this spicy, sweet, and intoxicating stewpot of musical "gumbo," from Saturday night at the juke joint to worship on Sunday morning, Big Easy style!

And Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi is set on the banks of the Mississippi River during the Civil War. A lynched African-American man named Damascus is immediately resurrected as a woman named Demeter, who only has three days to find her daughter Po'em and transmit her song before she has to return to death.[2]

The Bay Area's own CHELLE'S JUKE JOINT acappella quintet, using just their voices, will take you on a fun filled journey a cappella style, to the pulsating sounds of New Orleans from the Blues and Jazz of Bourbon Street, to Sunday morning church service, to the Southern Louisiana sound of Swamp Pop and then you will strut your stuff, parading with the Mardi Gras Indians.
