Savor the Beat: Krazy Korner, Home of the DayWalkers!
In the heart of New Orleans' Bourbon Street, amidst the lively cacophony of music and revelry, there's a place where the spirit of Louisiana comes alive in every note. Welcome to Krazy Korner, the legendary stomping ground of the one and only DayWalkers – a band that's as eclectic and vibrant as the city itself.
The DayWalkers aren't just any band; they're a musical force to be reckoned with, blending alternative roots with a progressive mix of Country, Cajun, Zydeco, and all the soulful flavors of Louisiana music. With three dynamic vocalists at the helm, their performances are a whirlwind of musical diversity, vocal harmony, and wacky humor, captivating audiences from near and far.
The story of the DayWalkers is one of serendipity and musical destiny. It all began in 2014 when Alex MacDonald and Janson Lohmeyer found themselves playing an impromptu gig in the Crescent City. Their natural chemistry and infectious energy were undeniable, sparking a partnership that would soon take Bourbon Street by storm.
Alex MacDonald, a born-and-bred New Orleanian with a bold attitude and unparalleled washboard skills, brings a rich musical heritage to the stage. Son of legendary musicians Leigh "Little Queenie" Harris and Bruce "Weasel" MacDonald, Alex's performances are infused with the spirit of his upbringing, drawing on influences from Cajun, Zydeco, and roots music luminaries.
Janson Lohmeyer, hailing from a musical lineage of his own, adds his smooth southern vocals and masterful piano playing to the DayWalkers' signature sound. With a background that includes collaborations with artists like Waylon Thibodeaux and vocal arrangements for choirs across the Gulf Coast, Janson brings a depth of experience and talent to the band's repertoire.
Together, Alex and Janson form the core of the DayWalkers, a duo whose musical synergy is nothing short of magical. Their harmonies soar, their melodies enchant, and their onstage banter keeps audiences coming back for more, night after night.
In 2016, the DayWalkers released their debut CD, "Americana Mix," a testament to their musical prowess and undeniable chemistry. What started as a humble recording project evolved into a showcase of the band's powerful harmonies, infectious melodies, and irresistible charm.
At Krazy Korner, the DayWalkers have found a home like no other. Amidst the neon lights and bustling crowds of Bourbon Street, their music resonates with locals and visitors alike, creating memories that last a lifetime.
