I first saw Louise perform at the Mariposas Collective Benefit she organized back in February of this year. All proceeds from the show went to support relief efforts for asylum seekers passing through Memphis. Her performance had a powerful, theatrical quality—the music is driven by her raw vocals and strong piano-playing skills (I would later learn this was due to 15 years of classical training). She played with a full band– percussion (Michael Todd), violin (Annalisabeth Craig), trumpet (Jawaun Crawford), and saxophone (Michael Laurenzi). It was robust. Dynamic.
