The band
Louder, brasher, faster.
Louis Prima Jr. and The Witnesses are a boisterous, horn-driven, 10-piece New Orleans-style band known for energetic performances that raise the roof and bring audiences to their feet. Their eclectic, rowdy style crosses big band and swing, rock and blues, mixing Prima Jr.’s original songs with tail-shakin’, foot-stompin’ favorites from the songbook of his father, the legendary entertainer Louis Prima.
Formed in 2006, the band broke out with an over-the-top performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and has played everywhere from Seattle to Palermo: Jazz Fest, House of Blues, City Winery, the Viper Room, Feinstein’s and many Las Vegas casino showrooms, plus festivals, clubs and performing arts centers. Less concerned with reliving the past than creating a future, they bring what has been called “the wildest show this side of the 60s.”
On record, Return of the Wildest! (2012) and Blow (2014) came out on Warrior Records, distributed by Universal Music Group. Blow, recorded at Capitol Records with eight originals written by Prima Jr., was the most-added album on American jazz radio in its first week and debuted in the CMJ Jazz Top 25 and the iTunes Top 15 jazz. The holiday release Hey Skinny Santa! followed.

What they’re saying.
“Louis Prima, Jr.'s show was outrageously fantastic. Incredible energy, exciting music; they should have a permanent spot on the Strip.”
Robin Leach
“This guy leads a band that makes the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy band sound like Kenny G in comparison.”
Jazz Weekly
“It’s feel-good music of the highest order.”
