The Happy Talk Band

The Crescent City’s Happy Talk Band formed in 2000 and then reformed in Post-Katrina New Orleans in 2005. The new incarnation consists of Bailey Smith and Alex McMurray on guitars, Steve Calandra on bass, Mike Andrepont on drums, Casey McAllister on lapsteel and keys, and songwriter Luke Allen singing and playing a twenty-five dollar nylon string acoustic guitar. Allen’s songs are a series of eulogies and apologies set to the uncompromising rhythm of a drunken Decatur Street crawl. The Happy Talk Band has been named Best Roots Rock Band in New Orleans by the Big Easy Foundation and Gambit Magazine for the years 2007 and 2008.
