The Jordan Anderson Band (3:00 - 5:00 p.m.)

Anderson met Belanger while both were attending Louisiana State University, and began playing with South Louisiana rock and roll band Dulac Smack. Anderson began writing songs inspired by the infectious culture of the beautiful Bayou Region. After showing the collection of songs to Belanger, the two assembled a group of musically talented family and longtime friends. Thus, The Jordan Anderson Band was formed. The group quickly found traction around LSU and Baton Rouge playing both cover and original shows. Soon after, the group expanded throughout Louisiana. In 2015 alone, they expanded beyond the state with featured performances throughout the Gulf Coast, as well as Colorado. The Jordan Anderson Band sparked from the ashes of many South Louisiana bands and will burn a trail through music scenes for years to come.
