Donnie Picou - Donnie is the founder, bandleader and songwriter for Louisiana rock band Bas Clas. On April 26th the band played Festival International de Louisiane and celebrated the release of their new CD “Big Oak Tree”. Picou's song writing combines a keen eye for observation, a rich sense of irony, and a sly (sometimes wicked) sense of humor and his songs have been described as being “powerfully real and emotively potent”. The result is rock/folk music seasoned with gumbo spices. For Art-B-Que Donnie will play a set of his original material accompanied by drummer Brian Lowe of the Imperial Opa Circus band.
