Founded in 1999 by brothers Andre and Louis Michot, the years have brought LBR a feature on Jack White’s “American Epic,” score contributions to the Oscar-nominated film “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” Grammy wins for “Live: Orpheum Theater NOLA,” their 2023 album with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, and for their 2017 studio album “Kalenda.” As the band continues to explore collaborations with artists worldwide both on stage and in the studio, the Ramblers have collaborated with Dr. John, Scarlett Johansson, Leyla McCalla, Nora Arnezeder, Gordon Gano, Spider Stacy, Rickie Lee Jones and Ani DiFranco, to name a few. With years of sold-out shows in New Orleans and abroad, Lost Bayou Ramblers were named Big Easy Awards’ Entertainers of the Year in 2019, and 2021 brought features in Rolling Stone magazine, National Geographic and The New Yorker. In 2012, with five albums under their belt, including a Grammy nomination for their 2007 release “Live a la Blue Moon,” the band released its most progressive and sonically experimental record to date, “Mammoth Waltz.” With the stylings of producer Korey Richey (Arcade Fire, Givers) and the help of guest artists Gordon Gano, Scarlett Johansson and Dr. John, “Mammoth Waltz” was named No. 2 in the “Top 21 Louisiana Albums of the 21st Century” by The Times-Picayune and acted as an invitation for all music lovers to tune in to the hypnotic Cajun rhythms Lost Bayou Ramblers have been known for since their inception in 1999. Lost Bayou Ramblers’ contribution to the score of “Beasts of the Southern Wild” in 2012 brought them further international recognition and continuing performances with Wordless Music Orchestra and score composers Benh Zeitlin and Dan Romer. Lost Bayou Ramblers stands at the crosscurrents of Louisiana culture by inhabiting the gray area between Cajun and Creole, convention and innovation, mystery and revelation, experimenting and growing the show to what it’s become today: an eclectic mix of modern sounds and rhythms with ancient Cajun melodies and lyrics. World Café says, “The Grammy-winning group plays a revved-up version of Cajun music, shot through with punk energy and psychedelic fuzz.” Listen to Lost Bayou Ramblers About Ogden After Hours Ogden After Hours (OAH) is a special event that features a diverse lineup of programs reflecting and celebrating the diversity of Southern art and culture.
