The Bayou Bump

We hired the Bayou Bump for my mother in law’s Celebration of Life. It was the perfect touch to this bitter sweet day. The band was amazing and everyone enjoyed hearing them play. The immediate family participated in the 2nd line parade and it was both emotional and festive. The event all came together with the addition of the band bringing New Orleans to my mother in law since she never had the chance to visit while she was alive. Thank you to the members of Bayou Bump for making this event a true celebration of my beloved mother in law’s life. We will never forget it!

Great music and a perfect complement to our New Orleans birthday bash! Everyone at the party raved about the music!

I booked The Bayou Bump for a retirement community Mardi Gras party, and boy did they deliver! My residents are still talking about how much fun they had, and how good the music was.

Working with Barbara was easy and professional. I would definitely book the group again.

Thanks,

They did a great job surprising and entertaining our guests at our Mardi Gras party. Highly recommend!!

The Bayou Bump provided stellar entertainment for our Mardi Gras celebration. Quite a few of our guests are from Louisiana and raved about how authentic their sound was, We are looking forward to have them entertain again. They arrived promptly and were very professional.

They where amazing and did every song requested and sent out father off in style. Thank you again Barbara

We hired The Bayou Bump for my father’s memorial and they were perfect. They brought the right amount of energy to the service while being respectful of the occasion.

They are a great group!

Made our 50th birthday epic! Beyond our expectations. Brought NOLA to LA.

Want to give a huge shout out to Barb and The Bayou Bump for making our surprise birthday celebration memorable and joyous in these unprecedented times. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and music with our group and our neighborhood! What a magical and wonderful memory.

Bayou Bump was even better than I expected, and I am trying to figure out our next event so I can book them again. They were THAT good.
We enjoyed them so much!
THANK YOU for an amazing performance.

They were the highlight of the party! Everyone enjoyed the event and their performance put it over the top for the most authentic New Orleans style musical experience to compliment the theme. They helped me surprise my guests and were easy to work with and accommodating. I am very happy and recommend the Bayou Bump with the highest regard!

Of course they were fantastic musicians, but so worked closely with me to make the event perfect.

Thanks so much for playing for us! We will definitely be using you again.

We loved The Bayou Bump! They brought a 4-piece band that played perfect music for our end of year party. Very professional and really made it a special night for us!

We wholeheartedly recommend this amazing band. We hired them to do a 2nd line for our dear friend and sister who passed away and had specifically requested a New Orleans style processional with a live band. Booking them was easy, with plenty of discussion to clarify what we needed and what they were able to do. The plan went down without a hitch - and everyone loved the music. The musicians are all really top notch - including the vocalist. They kept everyone engaged with their Nahlin's style music - both the people who know the music and love it, as well as people who were new to it. The performed for about three hours including a short 2nd line procession with our party in tow. They really became part of the celebration and added so much energy to what was a hard day for many of us. They were sensitive to that while just playing their jazz hearts out. You can't go wrong with this band.

For a wedding, hired the band for a cocktail hour between the ceremony and dinner. They were wonderful. Great energy, the music sounded great—now wish we had ditched the DJ and had them play for the entire wedding. Next time.

So glad to see you guys on Gigsalad! You have such an amazing sound!

The Bayou Bump did an excellent job performing. They were professional and sounded great. They were respectful of the environment (funeral) and even had to walk up a hill (second line style) for part of their performance. They performed traditional New Orleans brass/jazz music as well as TAPS for the deceased that served in the military. The family of the deceased felt that their presence made the moment brighter and more special. They even accommodated a family friend that was eager to show their respects and allowed him to play with them for a song or two. We highly recommend the band for any occasion. They worked with our time frame and budget and provided 3 STELLAR musicians that performed songs that ranged from a somber feel to an upbeat Mardi Gras style (as requested). We hope to hire them for a wedding or birthday celebration next time, or simply just to party . Thanks again Bayou Bump for making a difficult moment more comfortable and joyful than it would have been without the presence of your talent/music.
