Houston Texan Annika Chambers is a rare old school blues and soul singer in her early 30s. During two tours of duty in the U.S. Army, including Iraq, Chambers started to reach a wider public when a colonel heard her singing gospel and asked her to do the National Anthem. She then brought her big voice to the blues playing Army base shows and finally debuting in 2015 with the CD Making My Mark. We caught up with Annika the morning after a triumphant late night show in Butte, Montana 2018. Annika told us that her parents were young teens and took us back to her own youth raised by grandma.

Down here in Louisiana we love any excuse for a party. Our very Catholic culture dictates that Ash Wednesday is supposed to usher in 40 days of fasting and abstaining, but thanks to a few saints whose feast days fall during that Lenten period, our party just continues.First comes St. Patrick’s Day, when everyone's Irish for the day. Then, just two days later, on St. Joseph’s Day, it's the Italians' time to party. Tulane History Professor Laura Kelley joins us to talk about the Irish in New Orleans. And historian Laura Gucionne reveals secrets of 19th century St. Joseph Day celebrations that will shock you! The story even involves Rex, King of Carnival.This year, before those Catholic feast days, there’s the Jewish feast of Purim – sometimes called Jewish Mardi Gras. We learn all about Purim with the help of Benay Bernstein, who provides us with an introduction to a holiday unlike any other on the Jewish calendar.For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.
