If you want to catch a really good singer-songwriter duo, one that should have been front and center at the Grammys last night (come on... I am their mother, after all) and if you’re going to be in or anywhere near New Orleans on Lundi Gras, head over to the Neutral Ground Coffeehouse. At 8 PM the group formerly known as “The Coupons” now doing business as “The Odd Ducks” but mostly just called “Sam and Abbie” will take the stage. They perform a bunch of original stuff and also cover people like Lucinda Williams, Radiohead, Gillian Welch, John Prine, the Be Good Tanyas and Martin Sexton.
Abbie and Sam have been singing together since they met in college. Their voices weave a luxurious harmony. Sam plays a mean guitar; Abbie plays the bass for a couple of numbers. I don’t think you could find a better way to spend the evening next Monday in New Orleans. Tell them "G-Lo" sent you!
