Bayou Stampede Brings the Thunder to Bayou Jam on June 1

The City of Slidell’s Bayou Jam Spring Concert Series continues on Sunday, June 1 with a performance by Bayou Stampede Band and special guest Caroline Tebbs, starting at  5:00 p.m. at Heritage Park. Admission is free.

“Pack your lawn chairs and bring the whole family to Heritage Park for an unforgettable evening of music,” said Slidell Mayor Bill Borchert. “Our Bayou Jam concerts have become a cherished tradition in Slidell, offering the perfect opportunity for our community to relax and enjoy great music in Heritage Park.”

Bayou Stampede, a country and classic rock band, brings its energetic performances to venues across the Northshore and Southshore of Lake Pontchartrain, as well as larger festivals and fairs. The Slidell based band loves performing for their “Fan-Fam” and like supporting venues that champion local live music. Bayou Stampede consists of Bryan Simmons on vocals and rhythm guitar, Felicia Murret on vocals and percussion, John Pfeifer on vocals and lead guitar, Joe “Hot Rod” Lincoln laying down the bass, and Jimmy Boitnott driving the rhythm on drums.

Caroline Tebbs, an 18-year-old singer-songwriter from Slidell has been writing stories and songs since childhood. A student at the Lipscomb School of Music in Nashville, Tennessee, she performs pop and country music, showcasing her talents on acoustic guitar and piano. At 16, Caroline released her first album, “Good Enough,” and has since followed up with an EP, “Romance, Bigger Person,” and additional singles. Whether performing solo, with her guitarist Sean Murray, or with a full band, Caroline has graced stages in Nashville and at venues and festivals across the Northshore when she is home. She is a recipient of the St . Tammany Parish President’s 2024 “Emerging Artist” Award.
