THE BAND...
Brennan Manale
Lead vocals, Booking
Brennan has been a vocalist in the GNO region for over 2 decades. She started her career as a theater major at the University of New Orleans and though she adored acting, she quickly discovered that she had an intense passion for singing. She has shared the stage with many of the top bands in the area over the years and has performed extensively throughout the Gulf Coast for weddings, corporate events, Mardi Gras Balls, clubs, casinos, festivals and any number of private events. When she isn't performing, she runs an upscale gift business called B Gifted and loves spending time with her family, which absolutely includes her fur-babies!
Allan Maxwell
Bass, Synth Bass, Vocals, Sound
Bass player / sound engineer, Allan Maxwell, is a native of New Orleans. He has made his living as a musician since the late 1990s, performing locally in many of the area's top corporate party bands, lending his talents to various studio projects for original artists, film and television, providing production & sound engineering for a multitude of live music acts, and touring with local greats such as Marc Broussard. He is also a multi-decade veteran of World-Famous Bourbon St, which is a performing musician's best & most fierce classroom. Not slowing down anytime soon, he's looking forward to rocking your next event!
Bryant "Wizz" Simmons
Lead Guitar, Lead vocals
Bryant Simmons is known in the New Orleans area and many parts of the Eastern U.S. as "Wizz." He has been playing guitar for over thirty-five years with countless influences such as Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen and George Benson. In addition to many other venues & events, he has also entertained on World Famous Bourbon St. since the turn of the millennium in 2000. Wizz has performed with such notable artists as Irma Thomas and Rockin' Dopsie Jr. in the NOLA area. He spent much of his time growing up watching MTV, VH-1 and B.E.T., therefore his style can definitely be described as an "eclectic gumbo!" Check out Wizz performing when 5eaux4 comes to a location near you!
Connor Lamkin
Drums
Meet Connor Lamkin, our resident drummer and class clown! Connor is a self-taught drummer that has now been playing drums for 15 years. He started a garage band with some friends years ago and quickly burst on to the scene playing small clubs and school fairs. Connor is also the only member of the band to play all 4 nights on World-Famous Bourbon St every week. He has worked with some of the area's most popular party bands playing a wide variety of special events up & down the Gulf Coast. Fun fact about him - he can play drums both right and left handed and do it well! Connor loves playing drums and being instrumental (no pun intended, ha!) in making people get out of their seats, move on the dance floor and feel the music he's playing!
