New Orleans Super Group, Slugger, Releases Live Album From The Maple Leaf
Slugger, a funk-soul super group made up of members from Tank and the Bangas, Naughty Professor, Funky Meters, and Brass-A-Holics, have released their first ever live album,
Uncut Buzz. The album features guest appearances from emcee Ray Wimley and vocalist Mykia Jovan, as well as rare lead vocals from keys player, Joe Johnson.
The band recorded the album at The Maple Leaf two weeks prior to the first COVID-19 shutdowns. The Maple Leaf has served as a sort of musical home for Slugger since their inception and, with venues across the country struggling to make ends meet, the band is currently splitting all proceeds from the record 50/50 with the club.
