Valerie Sassyfras Book Signing and Caesar Meadows Art Show at Hey Cafe/Feb 23/7-9pm!

Join me and the illustrious Caesar Meadows, who did all the illustrations for my book, at Hey Cafe Feb 23 for an evening of art, performance, and book signing. 7-9pm. Here is a review from Antigravity Magazine:

Every community has its local stars, the artists you can't imagine in any other context, and feel vaguely protective of should they reach a national audience. New Orleans has more than most places, and high on the list is Valerie Sassyfras. In recent years, the Cajun-rooted multi-instrumentalist has gone from being a mainstay of Gasa Gasa, Tipitinas, and French Quarter Fest to appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and America's Got Talent, thanks to her catchy, quasi-raunchy anthem "Girls Night Out. " This memoir, told as a series of autobiographical vignettes, takes its name from that song's memorable chorus, and mixes amusing tales of sex, drugs, and zydeco with poignant memories of her family and late, beloved husband and musical partner Johnny Donald. Together, Sassyfras' frank and memorable recollections capture her life as a hardworking, distinctly New Orleans musician who continues to delight in New songs, friendships and experiences long after many of her contemporaries have hung up their instruments and dreams-as she realizes while attending a school reunion hosted (naturally) at Morris Barts mansion. Illustrations by ANTIGRAVITY comics editor Caesar Meadows perfectly compliment her stories and ground them further in New Orleans legend. Steven Melendez
