Go by Chickie Wah Wah (2828 Canal) for  an amazing evening of music tonight at 8:00 pm!!  The Believers bring their roots sounds and to Chickie's for a FREE weekday show.  Founding members Craig Aspen & Cyd Frazzini formed the band ten years ago in Seattle amid the Alt. Country - No Depression boom and have been recording and performing ever since.  Teaming up with former members of Tribe Nunzio and other New Orleans music luminaries, they've stayed true to their Country/Soul sound.  Of their latest release ‘Lucky You’ , Britain’s Rock n Reel Magazine wrote The Believers are “What Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Three might’ve sounded like if they’d jammed with The White Stripes.”  You're not going to want to miss this one!!
