The way a good meal brings people together is such a simple and particular joy. I think I was just trying to find a way to play a more active and creative part in cultivating that joy and I wanted to do it on my own terms. One of Little Kitchen’s goals is to be a low-key, colorful, delicious aspect of any community I’m involved in. I want to continue to bring what I do to spaces and events with other artists, musicians, chefs, collaborators and the like. I’m very thankful to have had so many people allow me a space to share my food. If ever I find myself in the position to provide that for others, I intend to do so! Read the Sands Band BIO Part electric jazz ensemble, part rock band, and part raucous wedding street party, Read the Sands draws inspiration from Bambara music of West Africa as well as Black American musical traditions. The result is a sound that is powerful, spiritual, and infectious. Started in 2019, the band has developed a reputation around New Orleans for their engaging live shows. Collectively, the band members have performed with a broad range of artists including Christian Scott, Tank and the Bangas, Donald Harrison, Amadou & Mariam, and Fatoumata Diawara. This breadth of musical experience informs the band’s unique sound and gravity-defying ensemble interplay. Read the Sands makes music to move to and be moved by.
