Gatemouth

Clarence Gatemouth Brown. I’m portraying him with 2 of his guitars and his fiddle. He was a master of a lot of different stringed instruments but I paired it down to what would make a nice border. Gatemouth refuses to be defined to any one genre of music even though he’s usually labeled blues or country. He died in 2005, born in Vinton LA and was known and loved around the world.

“The Gospel According to New Orleans”, my collection of iconic New Orleans Musicians, commemorates their role in the evolution of the eccentric culture and music traditions of New Orleans. All depicted in this series are musical and cultural icons who make, or live on through, their significant contributions to the uniqueness of what composes the spirit of New Orleans. They exemplify the joie de vivre that runs through all aspects of life here in all of its diversity.
