Lagniappe
……a little something extra (pronounced "lan-yap")
Matters of the heart and soul are the essence of great music, and Lagniappe conveys heartfelt soulfulness in every note they play. Led by the lovely and talented Genine "Miss Poetry" Perez, they perform timeless R&B classics by Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Al Green, the Staple Singers, Irma Thomas, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and many more.
Genine is backed by guitar virtuoso Ben Harris, the ever-funky Jay Gentry on electric and upright basses, and rock-solid drummer Dave Hoffpauir. This versatile trio can play refined instrumental jazz standards for a classy ambience, and they can fill the dance floor with funky jazz fusion in the style of The Meters, Mike Stern, or John Scofield. Adding the extensive soul, R&B, Motown, and blues repertoire of Genine Perez makes Lagniappe the perfect choice for a perfect evening: they'll always give you "something extra."
The band's all-star lineup includes veterans of the central Arkansas music scene. Members have contributed their talents to well-known groups such as the Amy Garland Band, the Boondogs, Ho-Hum, Ebo and the Tomcats, the Shannon Boshears Band, the Sara Thomas Band, Afrodesia, Pandora"s Groove, the Ben Harris Trio and the Sugar Kings.
