After a hellacious experience trying to find a parking spot, I FINALLY made to the second day of French Quarter Fest (April 18, 2009) right as Ingrid Lucia began her set at the Esplanade in the Shade stage. Joining the bubbly jazz vocalists were trombonist Mark Mullins (Bonerama), guitarist John Fohl (Dr. John) and drummer Simon Lott – quite the allstar cast! This staggering gang certainly did not disappoint. Mullins’ trombone bellowed along with Lott’s jazzabilly rumble, and Fohl’s dangling guitar rides swept up Lucia’s delicious vocals. Enchanting and indelible, Lucia is one brightest talents in the Big Easy. And nothing compares to spending a sunny day with her sweet croon.
