Louisiana's Cajun Rockin Fiddler

Waylon Thibodeaux

Passin It Down is an Americana album with songs covered by long-time Louisiana artist Big Daddy ‘O’, aka Owen Tufts. He is known for making every song his own, and he does just that in this album. His voice can take you down an old back road when you hear “Goin’ Back,” or he can make you cry tears of nostalgia as you listen to “Love Me.”

Big Daddy ‘O’ mainly performs as a solo act with his acoustic guitar custom made by guitar Luthier Scott Quiroz in San Diego or with a full, hard-hitting blues band demonstrating his considerable blues chops on his 1969 Les Paul Deluxe.​

Big Daddy ‘O’ celebrates his fourth album, Passin It Down, for fans to enjoy out on Rabadash Records. Produced by John Autin at his Rabadash Studios in Mandeville, LA, he captured this unique artist in his finest form; his voice and an acoustic guitar. “With a big voice as sweet as Mississippi Moonshine, Owen can heal a broken heart,” producer John Autin says.

This prodigal daughter returns home to embrace her roots to record what she calls “the front porch songs”.

"I was born on Saturday and singing on Sunday," as Sera so aptly puts it. "Music is in my blood, and the road I've traveled can't help but form my music." ​

It's true; her voice will remind you of love, pain, and laughter all at once.

Hummingbird Tea will be released on October 14, produced by Serabee and John Autin of Rabadash Records with distribution through Amped. Special mixing production appearances by Marc Hewitt (Allen Toussaint), Zach Allen (Kingfish/Keb’ Mo’), and Gary Katz (Steely Dan) give that shimmer to Serabee’s incredible songs.

Hummingbird Tea has been in the works for a couple of years with writing and recording, and it’s well worth the wait. The album consists of 14 original songs ranging from building grooves to stripped-down tear-jerkers dripping with soul from end to end.
