AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Hey Folx!

I have another piece of exciting news to share. My dear and beloved friend, Michelle Jacques, has produced a fine album of music rooted in a larger-scale project she has been involved in for years called “Daughters of the Delta.” This artistic project highlights the unique contributions certain women have made to the music and culture of the Louisiana Gulf region. As she says in the link I have provided below, it is a living tradition, and she is doing her part within her musical community to uplift and preserve it.

But I want to get personal for a moment. I have known Michelle for many years, as long as I moved to and lived in California. She is also the music director at my church and is an award-winning international Jazz and Blues artist in her own right. One of the charisms of my multiracial church is the music ministry. Several local jazz and blues musicians participate in the church’s music ministry, and no other church in the Bay can boast of such a claim. Chelle, as we call her, is also a dear friend who has walked with me during some difficult life moments, so it is an honor and joy to share this impressive accomplishment in her life’s work with you.

With that, I commend to you the music of the Daughter of the Delta and warmly encourage you to listen, make a purchase, and let the sounds, rhythms, and spirit of Louisiana enliven your soul!
