local talent

Another great local talent, Schel Reaux, performed Friday night as part of the Pelican Oak Music Series.

The Pelican Oak Music Series continues this Friday, featuring Schel Reaux.

An almost acoustic cover of Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man" by Alejandro Manzano and Fifth Harmony which is, in my opinion, better than the original.

Brass Bed, a band out of Lafayette, were victim to a crime in Chicago, and a large portion of their gear and instruments were stolen.

MacKenzie Bourg announced today that he was in first place for the "Kickstarter of the Year"...
