"Bayou Blues" from the Swamps of Louisiana

Hey Hivers! Really fun video coming at you.

Get ready to dive deep into the heart of the Louisiana swamps with this one-take performance of Bayou Blues, captured by the talented Stefanie Tendler. Special thanks to our friend and "Swamp Lord" Eric Edwards for taking us into the lush and wild beauty of Livingston Parish, where the swamp's magic and mystery inspired this gritty track.

We wrote Bayou Blues on our first visit to Louisiana back in 2018, and while an acoustic version appeared on our Super Bloom album, we always knew this song needed that raw Southern grit and rock influence—something we couldn’t fully capture until now. This live version brings the track back to where it was born, embracing the Southern Blues rock and Appalachian fiddle tunes that have always fueled its energy.

It’s taken six years, but here we are, playing Bayou Blues where it belongs. Feel the power of this driving piece, a favorite in our live sets and a song that could calm even the most fearless of gators.

Enjoy the journey into the bayou with us, and let the sound of Bayou Blues transport you.
