New Orleans Night at Slim’s, July 25th 9pm-11pm! Led by the powerhouse vocals of Sean Hobbes, a pop-soul singer-songwriter based in New Orleans. He grew up in Philadelphia, surrounded by live music and dreaming of being on stage. 7 years of performing in clubs throughout New Orleans led him to develop a sound and style that draws on a multitude of genres and influences. As a writer, he looks to create dynamic soundtracks to the universal experiences of love and life.
This crew doesn’t just play music—they light up the stage. His band, The Hi Res, includes Kevin Appelson on drums, Tristan Clark on bass, Riley English on guitar, Mauricio Viana on keys and tenor sax, Aidan Swindell on bari sax, and Avery Bell on trombone. The group came together in September 2020 as a way to stay sane during the pandemic. What started with simple porch shows quickly turned into SXSW showcases and tours across the Gulf South and East Coast. The group performs frequently in New Orleans and continues to broaden their touring across the United States. Together, they create a live show packed with rhythm, soul, and unforgettable energy.
Their debut album, Images of Roses, is the product of a year and a half of writing and recording. Building arrangements that incorporate jazz, pop and rock, they looked to capture the eclectic nature of life that bleeds into the music that they make. The album tells the story of falling in and out of love, moving from infatuation to closure. The project was produced by Riley English, Avery Bell, and Sean Hobbes. It was recorded at Marigny Studios and mixed by Adam Keil and mastered by Sean Peterson. Let’s turn downtown Raleigh into the French Quarter for the night. Come to Slim’s for a New Orleans style party you won’t forget!
