Big Sam Williams

Five years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, an acclaimed New Orleans funk rock band will be playing in Davis Square. Big Sam’s Funky Nation is performing at Johnny D’s in Somerville on Sept. 4. The band has received national attention lately for their role on HBO’s original series Treme, their international touring & festival schedule, a Grammy nomination and the release of their new album, King Of The Party.
BSFN is a high energy band that is lead by “Big” Sam Williams, formerly of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Elvis Costello & Allen Toussaints backing band.
