Glen David Andrews Band

February 20 @ 6:00 pm - 12:00 am

Join us at De la Luz on February 20 for a night that hits straight in the chest—Mardi Gras spirit, New Orleans fire, and Glen David Andrews leading the charge. The “Treme Prince” returns to Holyoke with a show that swings from deep-soul gospel to second-line brass thunder, bringing the kind of high-voltage energy that turns a room into a parade.

Our kitchen is rolling out a Louisiana-inspired menu for one night only—bold, messy, joyfully seasoned dishes that match the band’s pulse. Good food, strong drinks, and a band that refuses to hold anything back.

Glen David Andrews, a native son and beloved musician of New Orleans, is a warrior for cultural preservation at a time when indigenous traditions are under pressure. His music reminds us that dance, joy, and collective celebration are not escape—they’re resistance. Every groove, shout, and horn line carries a history of people that we need to preserve together.

His commanding voice and fierce trombone sound are a blend of smoothness, grit, and raw emotion. Raised in Tremé—widely regarded as the oldest Black neighborhood in the United States—he comes from a lineage that includes Derrick Tabb of the Rebirth Brass Band and his cousin Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, and he learned the brass band tradition at the feet of icons like Tuba Fats.

This night is an all-ages, full-on celebration.
