Nigel Hall is home for exactly two days, which apparently is just enough time to sit down with Derrick Freeman, Jelly Joseph, and Danny Abel for another episode of The Shadow People.This one starts with Nigel’s eye twitching from tour life, Jelly in her birthday mumu era, and the whole room trying to decide whether a meltdown is actually just your body telling you the truth. From there, it turns into records, record stores, PJ Morton, Brazil, childhood music memories, “useful hoarding,” New Orleans food, Coolinary, oysters, and why some people should not be left alone with a credit card near vinyl or keyboards.The crew also takes time to remember Jerome “Big Duck” Smith, a New Orleans civil rights legend whose work and legacy still sit deep in the culture. Then it’s back to tour communication, band family, Backline, mental health on the road, what it means to feel safe in the band, and one very important Waffle House order involving five cheese eggs.Plus: Danny pops up, Jelly starts a new one-liner segment, and New Orleans remains its own country.Like, subscribe, send us a message, and don’t you eat that beef.#TheShadowPeople #NigelHall #DerrickFreeman #JellyJoseph #DannyAbel #NewOrleansPodcast #NewOrleansMusic #Lettuce #Galactic #MusicianLife #TourLife #VinylRecords #PJMorton #BigDuckSmith #Backline #LunascendTIMESTAMPS00:00 Welcome to the United States of New Orleans00:23 Nigel’s two-day break from tour03:36 Jelly’s birthday meltdown and mumu era07:41 Feeling your feelings instead of going numb12:26 Money, comfort, and expensive record habits15:23 Vinyl collections, childhood memories, and “useful hoarding”23:40 Remembering Jerome “Big Duck” Smith27:31 Coolinary, oysters, and New Orleans food talk30:28 Tour communication, patience, and Backline40:05 Road life, safety, band family, and five cheese eggs46:52 Jelly introduces the one-liner segment
