LOUIS PRIMA JR. - "Bringing Prima Music Into the 21st Century & Conquering the World One Song at a Time"

Louis Prima Jr. is a singer, musician and bandleader known for his energetic and over-the-top performances with his boisterous New Orleans-style band The Witnesses. Prima Jr. is the son of legendary singer and entertainer Louis Prima. Louis Prima Jr. and The Witnesses was formed in 2006 and have been performing to sellout crowds around the world ever since. Prima Jr. distills the finer elements of his father's five-decade career through a contemporary filter and adds his own indelible stamp. The band performs original music as well as Prima classics. The rowdy, horn-driven 10-piece band has recorded two albums, “Return of the Wildest!” (2012) and “Blow” (2014), both on the Warrior Records label and distributed by Universal Music Group. “Return of the Wildest!” features Prima Jr. and the band performing 10 Louis Prima Sr. classics with a razor-sharp rock-and-roll edge. “Blow” captures the energy and wild fun of a live show with 11 tracks including eight original songs written by Prima Jr. In its first week, “Blow,” which was recorded at Capitol Records, was the most-added album on American jazz radio and debuted in the CMJ Jazz Chart’s Top 25 and the iTunes’ Top 15 jazz. A third album, which will feature original music that builds on the Prima sound, is due to be released in 2022. We are thrilled to have him on The Rick Flynn Presents podcast.
