Renard Boissiere
from Modern Problems Show Hosted by Modern Problems Show
This episode we have our good friend Renard Boissiere lead singer of Nardy Boy on. We talk about the origins of the band and him playing with the Neville Brothers also recording at Tuff Gong studios and meeting Rita Marley. Renard has performed live with the Neville Brothers and Delfeayo Marsalis, recorded with Rock-n-Roll Hall of Famers Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz of the Talking Heads, recorded and performed with Mystic Bowie and his Talking Dreads project, and opened for acts as varied as Odetta, the TomTom Club, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Porter, Batiste & Stolz (PBS), and the Psychedelic Furs. Leading the band with those funky N’Awlin’s rhythms and downright soulful singing, Renard and Nardy Boy play a danceable mashup of funk, jazz, and blues with a touch of reggae, a dash of rock and a sprinkle of zydeco for zest. You’ll think you got left smack in the middle of Oak St. at the Maple Leaf on a Saturday night! Renard and Nardy Boy are playing July 23rd at FTC Warehouse with Tash Neal. You should definitely get your tickets!!
