Free Friday Concert Series Featuring
Erica Falls

  • Erica Falls

    Pop-Soul

    Soul singer and songwriter Erica Falls credits her unique vintage sound to her childhood growing up in New Orleans’ 9th Ward, where her parents introduced her to Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn, and Whitney Houston.  Whether on stage or in the studio, she channels a sassy, soulful tone that recalls an earlier era. But Erica cautions her fans: “Vintage soul is not about bringing the listener back to a time of authentic music, it’s about reminding them that it never went anywhere,” she says.  

     Erica’s latest project re-released album 2018, HomeGrown, that she co-produced showcased her vocals, arranging, songwriting talent, and introduced her to a wider audience in the world of neo-soul.  Throughout her career, Erica has recorded and performed with icons including Grammy®-winner Allen Toussaint, Sting, No Doubt, Joe Sample, Dr. John, Jennifer Hudson, and John Fogerty, among others. In 2013, she was hand-picked by Lee Daniels to star in the lead singing role of the award-winning film Lee Daniels The Butler.

    ​Her show-stopping performances did not go unnoticed; Offbeat Magazine nominated Erica twice for Best Female Vocalist in which she won in 2017 and 2019.  She was also nominated for Best R&B Artist and Best R&B Album.

     Erica has toured nationally with renowned New Orleans funk band Galactic as their lead vocalist for the last 5 years, but she made the decision to leave that position and nurture her solo career. Currently, Erica is working on new highly anticipated music and she's excited to get it out to the world. Stay tuned because the best is yet to come from this Nola Hummingbird!

  • Kota Dosa

    Music

    Kota Dosa is a creative collective with roots in New York, New Orleans, and Oregon. Known for their eclectic sound that seamlessly blends blues, funk, psychedelic rock, and jazz, the band has established a vibrant presence in the local New York and New Orleans music scene. Drawing from legends like The Doors, Marcus King, Chris Cain, and more, the band blends their roots to craft an experience that’s as gritty as New York, as soulful as New Orleans, and as laid-back as Oregon. Fronted by brothers Jesse Jake & Cody Luke, the band rips through powerful vocals, fiery guitar solos, and an unstoppable stage presence. Their horn section hits hard with bold, brass-driven grooves that amp up every track. Known for their original music, Kota Dosa mixes their own songs with their favorite influences from across genres. Whether tearing up big stages or bringing their creative energy to rainy streets and front porches, they own every crowd, proving their versatility in any setting. Each performance is unique and sticks with you long after the lights go down.
