Louisiana Crossroads Series: Irma Thomas

Prepare for a night of timeless soul and R&B as the legendary Irma Thomas graces the stage. Known as the Soul Queen of New Orleans, Irma Thomas has performed for 50+ years. She has grown from singing in her church choir to becoming a Grammy award-winning artist for her 2007 album “After The Rain”. Thomas’s first charting single, “Wish Someone Would Care” is a well-known example of her soulful approach to authentic songwriting.

Dawn Eden, a 1960’s rock critic, said: “To a sizable following of rock and soul fans, she is simply a wonder — a woman with the sadly sweet voice of a fallen angel, who rose from poverty to become the Soul Queen of New Orleans.”
