Saskia Says!

August 20 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Good Measure 600 Carondelet St, New Orleans, LA, United States

Saskia Says! is the band of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Saskia Walker, an Italian, British, and American musician who came to New Orleans in 2019 to study at Loyola University and has made the city her home. Drawing from classic jazz, swing, funk, soul, and Latin music, Walker developed her sound through a wide range of musical environments, from a jazz-Latin band in Rome to a psychedelic rock group during her college years. She has served as a resident performer with the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park, and her debut album Love, a swing and Latin-infused record, was released at Sweet Lorraine's in New Orleans.

The Majik Feelings

August 21 @ 9:00 pm - August 22 @ 12:00 am

Good Measure 600 Carondelet St, New Orleans, LA, United States

The Majik Feelings are a condensed configuration of the long-running New Orleans collective Gov't Majik, led by bassist and co-founder Bru Bruser and fronted by vocalist Ten Spencer. Gov't Majik is self-described as "The Dirty South Afro-Beat Arkestra," blending the music of Fela Kuti and other Afrobeat and Afrofunk pioneers with the funk, jazz, rap, and rock and roll of New Orleans, landing somewhere between Fela, OutKast, and Kool & the Gang. Founded in 2005, the band made their Jazz Fest debut in 2007 and returned to the festival stage in 2026. Their new album, also titled The Majik Feelings, is due out this fall. Made up entirely of Gov't Majik members, this more intimate configuration puts the spotlight on the group's songwriting, vocal work, and deeper groove.

Brasinola

August 22 @ 9:00 pm - August 23 @ 12:00 am

Good Measure 600 Carondelet St, New Orleans, LA, United States

Brasinola plays the music of Brazil's Tropicalia movement with a New Orleans rhythm underneath. The band draws on the late 1960s and 1970s heyday of that Brazilian sound -- its blend of samba, funk, folk, and psychedelia -- while grounding everything in the feel of the city where they perform. As bassist and co-founder Ron Johnson has put it, "the NOLA in our name is the foot of the New Orleans drummer." A longtime presence on the city's club circuit, the band first made their name at the Maple Leaf Bar and have been a Frenchmen Street fixture since.
