Emelie Guidry

LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA has a lot to offer in the way of music, from zydeco to jazz, and everything in between. The “in between” is the primary concern of Emelie Guidry and the Picardy Birds, whose signature sound has been dubbed eclectic, funky, and foot-moving, a result of the group’s diverse musical tastes and versatility in instrumentation. Front lady Emelie Guidry (songwriter, vocalist, guitarist and pianist) formed the group, originally a jazz quartet, in 2005 by the suggestion of bassist Dion Pierre, with the original guitarist, Mike Lahey, and Brad Cradeur on percussion. The following three years changed the group’s overall attitude, drawing fans to shows that included jazz, funk, rock, pop, and drum and bass all in one set. The recent addition of vibraphonist, vocalist, and auxiliary percussionist Jessica Speer solidified the mix, adding harmonies, rhythms and vibes to an already unique formula. Emelie Guidry and the Picardy Birds have played throughout their home state and, upon completion of their first album, are planning to tour wherever their Picardy wings take them.
