Heads up! If you're heading into New Orleans for the weekend, so are the Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars! They'll be performing at the Blue Nile this Saturday, July 18th. They put on a great show and have an incredible story... check them out for a unique experience. Hope to see you there!

"Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars are a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transcendent power of music. Born in the midst of a violent, decade-long civil war, the band and its music celebrate our ability to sustain hope, inspiration and creativity even in a climate of rage, loss and madness."

Their story is truly inspirational, and their music, though a product of extremely hard times, is uplifting, optimistic and downright great! -- An infectious mix of West African influences, reggae and R&B. Here's the lowdown of the evening:
