about

A Tribute To Spasm Bands & The Legacy Of Homemade Instruments In New Orleans:

For more than 100 years, homemade instruments like cigar box guitars have held a special place in the development of music in New Orleans. Around the turn of the 20th century, spasm bands could be found performing in the streets with unique, handmade instruments. To honor the legacy of cigar box guitars and homemade instruments in New Orleans, we have chosen five compositions written by Johnny St. Cyr, Kid Ory, Danny Barker, and Louis Armstrong, who at one time played homemade stringed instruments on their musical journey. Enjoy!
