Three 90-minute sets: 5:30-7:00, 9:00-10:30, and 11:00-12:30New Orleans is a city all about celebrating the good times. Taking the good from the bad, and making it even better. Around town, one such band has done just that, producing a funkified feel-good sound that has been echoing around the city. Birthed from the womb of change and the city’s undeniable charm, The Quickening has honed a chemistry rarely found in many groups that has been brewing through dedicated partnerships for years. Starting in 2012, Blake “Space” Quick, guitarist, singer and songwriter, decided to form a new band after having gone through a sweeping epiphany of his own. The result has been this ragtag bunch of lively musicians who have perfected their depth in harmony, instrumentation, and keeping that pocket groovy.
