Jean-Eric is a positive, enthusiastic, slightly oddball party band from New Orleans with universal appeal and showmanship to spare. Their sound: wild youth embraced and embodied, lounge crunk, nuclear pop.

Jean-Eric honed their skills and paid their dues on the bounce circuit of post Katrina New Orleans where they managed to stand out even among such luminaries as Big Freedia, Katey Red, Sissy Nobby & Mr. Quintron.

Although rooted in and respectful of New Orleans and it's musical traditions, Jean-Eric's open, honest & fun sound and soul are best described in a review by Popstache: "Jean-Eric is not just a NOLA band...its appeal is universal...bombastically fun...painfully catchy."

As much at home on the indie pop/rock stage with euphoric arena pleasers like 'Real World' as in the center of a sissy bounce dance circle with sweat soaked dance-floor makers like 'Ooh Ah Ah', Jean-Eric's unique, positive and endearing music and live shows are a feast of sights and sounds for all to enjoy and, more importantly, to let go to and dance their asses off in the process.

In the last 14 months Jean-Eric has been on three tours (two east coast one west coast) and are booked to play support for The Generationals (11/23 in New Orleans, LA) and the Black Lips on New Years Eve (12/31) at One Eyed Jacks in New Orleans.

Jean-Eric is Frank Jones (vocals), Karen Wallace (vocals), Sheila Santamaria (performance), Brad Davis (drums) & Revel Griffith (bass). Jean-Eric lives together in a house that looks like a castle in Mid-City, New Orleans, with their cat, Mr. Crab. 



"Jean-Eric rocked the crowd at Public Assembly [NYC] with their brand of crunk-infused dance pop. Frank Jones and Karen Wallace’s husky voices are a refreshing change from the usual syrupy vocals of most electro acts, and these two have showmanship to spare."
