Carly Meyers has made a name for herself as the high-energy trombonist with the Mike Dillon Band. The pint-sized player will bound around the stage, dancing and jumping. Her horn becomes not just an instrument but also an appendage that she incorporates fully into her wild moves.
While everyone will concede that Dillon is awesome, it’s hard to leave one of his shows without being enamored by Carly. If you are one of the many who has fallen in love, you’re in luck! The first four Wednesdays of October, Ms. Meyers will have a residency at the Maple Leaf with her band Yojimbo.
Along with Carly, the trio features Doc Sharp on keys and Adam Gertner on drums, both powerful musicians with a clear punk influence. Fans that have come to expect Carly’s crazy-fun antics will not be disappointed. She will wield her trombone like a samurai sword, she will put on scary skull masks, and she will play with streamers. The punk rock energy and infectious melodies will leave all in attendance powerless to do anything except dance and maybe grin uncontrollably.
Yojimbo will be releasing a new album this coming November so expect sneak peaks of the new, original material scattered throughout the residency. Also stay tuned to TVD because we will have an exclusive world premiere of their video coming soon.
So New Orleanians, if you are out anywhere this month on a Wednesday night (excluding Halloween week) and looking for a great party, look no further than Yojimbo at the Leaf. With an energetic, youthful vibe a good time is guaranteed for all.
