The City of Slidell’s Bayou Jam Spring Concert Series continues on Sunday, April 27 with a performance by Lauren Murphy and the Psychedelics, 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.”

Lauren Murphy is a resilient and accomplished songwriter and vocalist deeply rooted in Louisiana’s musical landscape, making her home in a historic 125-year-old house in the marshes of Madisonville, one of Louisiana’s oldest settlements. Over the past two decades, she has built an impressive career collaborating with some of the nation’s premier musicians from California to New Orleans. Murphy’s musical journey has been shaped by profound personal experiences and loss. In 2022, she returned to South Louisiana, finding renewal in the region’s rich culture and musical heritage. Currently, Murphy is actively touring with her band, The Psychedelics all around the country. For more information, please visit LaurenMurphyMusic.com.
