TMP313 BILLY IUSO GOES NATIVE

The guitar player, singer, and songwriter has released over a dozen records under his own name and as leader of the Brides of Jesus and the Restless Natives. Stints playing with Anders Osborne, the Wild Magnolias, and his Iko Allstars, in addition to tour managing the Neville Brothers, the Funky Meters, and George Porter and the Running Pardners, have put him in the thick of the New Orleans funk mix. Tonight Billy chances a return to Snake and Jake's with the Troubled Men to conjure the ghosts of the Christmas Club's past.
