Tchoup Making Sense brings a fresh, New Orleans-flavored tribute to the iconic Talking Heads. Fronted by Steve Kelly, a respected New Orleans guitarist and Americana Soul artist, and backed by the four-piece outfit Grits & Greens from Hattiesburg, this act fuses tight Talking Heads material with the soulful, groove-driven spirit of the Big Easy. It’s the kind of collaboration that feels like a neighborhood jam with a powerful, city-savvy twist.
