9pm $15 Adv. / $20 Door
Bon Vivant : a person who enjoys a sociable and luxurious lifestyle appreciating food, drink, and music.
A live performance of Bon Bon Vivant embodies the spirit of revelry and celebration of life, because death is certain. BBV honors this “Bon Vivant” philosophy and the city where they live, New Orleans, with woven stories and a dynamic rhythm section. The band experiments with high energy dance music and dark, sensual melodies with lyrics like "start living now while you've got living left.” This music lives in the duality of enjoying the light because the darkness is always near!
Bon Bon Vivant is a genre bending band from New Orleans that pull from singer-songwriter/ pop/ americana/ dark ballads and up-tempo indie dance music…but they would prefer you to just listen to the music. BBVs original music is rooted in storytelling and pays honor to a uniquely New Orleans sound while infusing an indie flavor that leaves a lasting mark on listeners. This band's songs are joyous, fierce, honest and heartbreaking as they chronicle life and all it entails through the sounds of the minor keys.
Bon Bon Vivant has been playing music together since 2013, formed in the French Quarter of New Orleans. BBV is lead by married musicians: songwriter /front-woman Abigail Cosio and Saxophonist/ vocalist Jeremy Kelley. The couple met in 2004, and began playing music together in and around the Los Angeles local music scene, performing at venues like the Hotel Cafe and The Silverlake Lounge. In 2009 they moved to New Orleans, eventually forming Bon Bon Vivant from the community of musicians they met living in New Orleans. Abigails songwriting has reflected their life together in its many interations, a form of personal storytelling through this 20 year union. The bands unique instrumentation is also a thing to watch and leaves listeners reaching to identify what kind of music they are hearing. With brass horns and a rotating cast of incredible musicians coming through, this sound is alive and something to experience.
Locally, BBV is one of the highlighted acts in the New Orleans music scene, Awarded Best Emerging Artist of 2018 by Off Beat Magazine. BBV plays regularly in New Orleans with appearnces at French Quarter Fest, Jazz Fest, Bayou Boogaloo and tours regularly spreading the gospel of connectivity, reverence and revelry with their infectious live shows. In 2020, in the days of quaratine, BBV built an online following, playing weekly live shows and starting a Patreon account to better connect with fans across the country. This community building that began online helped BBV start to tour regularly to the west coast and the PNW, finidng a second home in these pockets of likeminded music lovers. Touring is an essentail way for this working-class band to make a life of music-making sustainable. With the ability to tour, BBV has been able to share their music in a more national level, while returing home to the local New Orleans community for over a decade. See them play all over the country in theaters, clubs, festivals, and even the occasional pop-up street busk. This band has a truly timeless and unique sound.

Petunia & The Vipers - hillbilly-flavoured-swing inflected-ragtime-goodtime-thunderously rolling-one-of-a-kind-you-don’t-want-to-miss-this-sort-of-a-show.
Louis Armstrong was once asked what his favorite kind of music was, and his response was simple; "Good music". Petunia & the Vipers' sound may not sit comfortably in one certain genre, but "Good Music" describes it well. Hank Williams on acid… Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie's Hobo junction… Avant-Country night club scene music… One of the best bands in the world today, of any kind… hillbilly-flavoured-swing inflected-ragtime-goodtime-thunderously rolling-one-of-a-kind-you-don’t-want-to-miss-this-sort-of-a-show… A new music that springboards off of music of the past and jumps into the present day, left with only echoes of the past… Something in between 1920's and steam punk. It's good for your mind… These are just a few of the words uttered by folks around the globe trying to pin down a description of all that is Petunia & The Vipers.
After touring for the past decade to the UK, Canada and parts of the USA, world acclaimed Petunia and the Vipers make another breakout tour, with their last four album releases all going to #1 on the Canadian Folk/Blues/Americana charts. Louis Armstrong was once asked what his favorite kind of music was, and his response was simple; “Good music”. Petunia & the Vipers’ sound may not sit comfortably in one certain genre, but “Good Music” describes it well. Together with his band the Vipers they play original music combining elements of classic 1920’s, 30’s 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s country, country blues, western swing, alt country rock, Mexicana, French cabaret, Romanian, ragtime, jazz, punk and folk music’s. A new music that springboards off of music of the past and jumps into the present day, left with only echoes of the past… Something in between 1920’s and steam punk.
Petunia is no stranger to being a “road dog”. He’s spent most of the last 23 years crisscrossing sections of Europe, North and South America, playing his old hobo haunts, hitch hiking junctions, street corners, dive bars, churches and run down theatres. He’s more than just an entertainer, he’s a modern musical enigma. Imagine that David Lynch and Nick Cave had a hillbilly baby, that yodeled… or Tom Waits meets Elvis at Woody Guthrie’s hobo junction. This is just one way of describing the man known simply as Petunia. He’s an adventure seeker, a poker player, and a mysterious stranger. He’s been referred to as “The Savior of Country Music”, and a man who exists in a different era, bringing the past forth as something new to be celebrated and not forgotten. A restless wanderer, a musical historian, and a quirky yet amazing talent, Petunia joins the greats from north of the 49th for his classic style and raucous performances. He is simply a Canadian treasure.
It wasn’t until he fell in love with the west coast that he would be compelled to settle down for a brief period over a decade ago, and “The Vipers” would gel together into a bonifide music band. Although The Vipers would go on to include over 8 different guitar players at various times during their inception, including the likes of Paul Rigby (who went on to play with Neko Case among others) and then Paul Pigat (Gretch now builds guitars for Paul to play and represent the company name), Petunia and the Vipers now include Stephen Nikleva on electric guitar. He’s a 40+ year veteran of the touring circuit and former member of Ray Condo and the Ricochets fame, as well as the Sarah McGlaughlin band. He has been quoted by Exene of the punk rock band “X” as being “One of the 10 best guitar players alive today” and noted by Dave Alvin (“and the Guilty Ones” band) to be, “the intimidating guitar player”. Stephen is joined by Jimmy Roy on the lapsteel guitar (an early version of the pedalsteel guitar), perhaps one of the last great lapsteel guitar virtuosos still alive and touring. Another 40+ year touring veteran, Jimmy has played with Wanda Jackson, Ray Condo and the Ricochets, Big Sandy and his Fly Rite Boys, and a host of other Canadian roots bands. Together these two vets form the musical foundation of the band dealing out fiery solos and lush arrangements.

As time passed he found artists such as Gavin Degraw (who he credits as his biggest vocal influence) R&B legend Brian McKnight, Anthony Hamilton and Kanye West who led him to find John Legend. Through friends he recently has been getting more into the indie side of hiphop a bit more and less of the mainstream.

Soultru has opened for artists such as Ceschi Ramos, Kweku Collins, Kristoff Krane, Rittz, Magic City Hippies, and Michigan Rattlers as of recently.
Without sticking to any single genre vocally, he shows the versatility to sing different styles. From being classically trained as well as having the ability to sing most genres including pop/rock/soul/indie.
Growing up in Iowa, Soultru was one of 2 boys raised by their Army vet single mother. Living in Davenport Iowa growing up in a rougher neighborhood. Music was a big part of his upbringing, through church and school.
Eventually he started writing poetry to cope with the things around him. At some point realizing that songs were pretty much poetry but sung instead of being spoken aloud.
This artist will be making moves musically for years to come.

LGS Equine Therapy Program Benefit Show
9pm $8 Adv. / $10 Door 21+
Have you ever been drawn to horses?
They are the perfect partners in healing and therapy as they teach us to honor and acknowledge what we feel on the inside.
Horses physically cannot mask their emotions like humans do. They “speak” through body language and read ours too. They also don’t have a judgmental bone in their body. Gently urging us to stand in our own power and truth with them.
In this program, we will hold a safe space for you to explore and interact with the horse. Choosing an activity within your level of comfort and guide you at your own pace.
These sessions hold zero expectations of what it “should” be and encourage you to create your own interpretations and solutions. Giving you strength, confidence, leadership and other tools to use on a day-to-day basis.
Working with horses is an unconventional approach to therapy that has been proven effective in treating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, eating disorders, and more. Working and caring for horses helps patients build confidence, trust, self-esteem, problem-solving skills, healthy boundaries and decreases feelings of depression and isolation. Horses are highly sensitive and expressive animals —making them excellent sources of honest and instant feedback to patients in sessions. The equine specialist leads each session with safety and facilitates activities for the patient to explore connection with the horse. Our objective is to specify goals with each individual patient and document their progress.
This program is available to patients in residential treatment and also those enrolled in our outpatient services.
