Pimps of Joytime featuring singers Carol C, Brian J Gitkin, Aurelien Barnes, and Garrett Shider at Cafe Istanbul in New Orleans for a really special Jazz Fest late night set.
Carol C is the lead singer and co-founder of the popular NYC electronic soul band, Si*Sé. With a musical style the Los Angeles Times described as “edgier than Sade, but more accessible than Everything But The Girl”, Carol helped Si*Sé gain the attention of David Byrne of Talking Heads back in the early 2000s. He quickly signed them to his Luaka Bop label and took them along on his Look Into The Eyeball world tour.
Though her work with Si*Sé continues, Carol’s solo performances will give audiences a chance to experience something different. A collection of brand new originals and reworked favorites from her diverse body of work, many of which have never before been performed live, will be brought to life in Carol C’s own unique vocal style.
