Big Sam Known for a boisterous blend of funk, jazz, rock, and hip-hop, and a whole lot of Southern charm, Big Sam’s Funky
Nation might very well be New Orleans’ best kept secret. Powered by jaw-dropping technical talent and uncontainable energy
on stage, their performances have become the stuff of legend. Frontman “Big Sam” Williams personally draws on over two
decades in the game, spanning everything from 300 shows per year during his days in Dirty Dozen Brass Band and gigs
backing up Widespread Panic and Dave Matthews Band to recording and touring with Allen Toussaint and Elvis Costello.
Additionally, he played a recurring role on the critically acclaimed HBO series Treme. As much as Big Sam’s Funky Nation
represents the beating heart of New Orleans, they ultimately do so for funk music as well—so, let’s get funky, y’all!!!
