Audio Beach Rocks Out Bayou Jam
The City of Slidell’s popular Bayou Jam Concert Series continues on Sunday, Oct. 5 with a performance by Audio Beach.
Celebrating their 22nd anniversary, Audio Beach has spent over two decades rocking audiences across New Orleans and the Gulf Coast with a blend of originals and covers. Anchored by Bill Stavis’s driving drums, Billy DesHotels’s soulful piano, and Dylan Caillouet’s grooving bass lines, the band finds its voice in Mario Sperandeo’s vocals and guitar work. Since 1988, they’ve shared the stage with legends like Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Randy Jackson of Zebra, Michael Ray of Kool & the Gang, and many more. From the swagger of classic rock and alternative to the smooth grooves of funk, R&B, blues, and country, their eclectic repertoire nods to the rich musical heritage of the Crescent City and beyond. Whether playing festivals, rocking in local clubs, or bringing a taste of New Orleans classics to stages across the region, Audio Beach delivers an immersive, high-energy experience that keeps fans coming back for more.
“The City of Slidell has been hosting Bayou Jam concerts for over 20 years, and they are a great way for our citizens and visitors to come together and celebrate as a community,” said Slidell Mayor Bill Borchert. “I invite you to join me in Heritage Park on Sundays this fall and enjoy these free concerts.”
