I love the The Figs, no not Newtons, not fruit and not pudding - I'm talking about the band. Six lovely ladies from a unique South Louisiana city, Lafayette, have combined their talents to form this charming yet sassy musical group. They are a perfect mix of old timey bluegrass, swing and folk with their own twist of tradition, learning as they go. 

They dress the part they play and I love the look as much as the music. 

Their merchandise is available on the 

website; much of the art is designed by band mate (ukulele player), Jillian Johnson. 

Their new album, What Keeps Me Up At Night, has been released by Valcour Records and it is a dandy. My favorite song is To Sail the Sea. Listen to it here.
