Johnny Sketch & The Dirty Notes on November 8, 2025
Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes rocks the house all the time, every time! This classically trained New Orleans-based band delivers a smorgasbord of musical genres every time they hit the stage. JSDN defy easy categorization; their irreverent funk is cut with rock riffs, a Gypsy/Klezmer flare, a Latin tinge courtesy of a hard-hitting horn section, and a sense of humor.
JSDN is a collection of carefully crafted alter egos, mystical musicians who are hesitant to share their personal selves but are collectively ready to funk beyond the call of duty. The ensemble features Johnny Sketch (Marc Paradis) on guitar, electric cello, and lead vocals; Busta Gnutt (Dave Pomerleau) on bass and backing vocals; Dirty Johnny (Andre Bohren) on drums and backing vocals; and Johnny Rico (Omar Ramirez) on trumpet and flugelhorn; Sage Rouge (Sage Newell) on saxophones, and Josh Paxton on keyboards.
With a live show as carefully crafted as their musical arrangements, JSDN wants the audience to have FUN, carrying them from a calm, funky groove to a full-blown frenzy at the drop of a hat. In New Orleans and across the country, JSDN has developed a loyal following of die-hard fans.
Formed in 2001, JSDN have grown up together and as a band. That experience and cohesiveness is evident in every note they play.
