About this act
Born and raised in New Orleans, Herb Armstrong came up playing the Bourbon Street and French Quarter clubs as a matter of routine, and has shared stages with Bobby Womack, Missy Elliott and the Neville Brothers. He's performed across the United States, including Las Vegas, and now calls Australia home. The show is an interactive floor set built on Zydeco and second line grooves, along with the classic New Orleans repertoire made famous by Louis Armstrong. Herb is backed by his seven piece band, The Royal Street Krewe, which moves from the slow ache of a second line dirge to full Mardi Gras. Corporate clients have included Subaru, Westpac, Watpac and Cisco Systems.
