BayouCon Musical Guests

No convention is complete without great musical entertainment, and BayouCon is no exception.

The Suzaku 7

Consisting of a compliment of some of the most talented musicians in the New Orleans area, The Suzaku 7 was formed in 2004 by founding members Dreux Blalock and Elricka Fletcher. After having played at various venues, the disaster that was Hurricane Katrina forced the seven celestial warriors to part ways. After seeing the devastation that was caused by the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami of March 11, 2011, and remembering the aid brought to the Gulf Coast after Katrina by Japan, Blalock decided to reform what he could of The Suzaku 7 in hopes of raising awareness and money through their shows to donate to help the people of Japan.

With the riveting vocals of Megan Geeck and Anna Mannino, the screeching guitars of Thomas DeVille (Alias Orion), complimenting keyboards and trumpets by Billy Reike and Farrar Hudkins (Consortium of Genius), a rhythm section comprising of Jonathan Ruh on drums and Dreux Blalock (Antarctica vs the World) on bass, The Suzaku 7 bring forward a show that is unprecedented in today's market: A band of true heroes, who like their mythical namesake, have come together to help a nation in need.
