The singer, guitar player, and songwriter grew up touring with her blues harmonica legend father, Charlie Musselwhite, at clubs and festivals around the world. Though raised in the San Francisco Bay Area blues hotbed, she didn’t see a place for herself in the music until she got turned on to the Delta sound. Now in New Orleans, she’s a woman on a mission, playing and recording with guitar virtuoso Jimmy Robinson as well as her Cosmic Gentlemen band. Tonight Layla pays her dues, as she sits in with the Troubled Men.

Topics include an Iguanas tour recap, an emergency van repair, the kindness of strangers, a pre-K graduation, empty nests, the Big Island Jazz & Blues Festival, snorkeling, a tiger shark attack, Mother’s Day memories, an unleashed dog, celebrity births, a Robert DeNiro movie, vintage clothes, the Seattle scene, Bob West, Chicago blues, avant garde theater, Jerzy Gotowski, an entrepreneurial streak, herbal makeup, the Sidebar, Brian Stoltz, Daniel Perez, Alex Mallet, Las Vegas glory days, Jazz Fest, and much more.
