Sounds Like
Listen for yourself. . . We like all kinds of old music, and even some of the new stuff! Old Time Ballads, Blues, Hot Jazz, Country, Bluegrass, Rockabilly, Swing & Western Swing, Cajun...we like it all, though we really sound like none of it...ironic, no?
The Figs were born of hot July practices, conflicting musical interests, and a strong desire to wear dresses and uncomfortable shoes. But you don't have to take our word for it...

"This Acadiana female sextet makes sweet music out of vintage mountain sounds. Ukulele, banjo and guitar are the instrumental underpinnings for the group's formidable vocal talents; it's members alternate lead and harmony vocals for an ever-changing tapestry of voices and textures."
--- THE INDEPENDENT | Lafayette, LA
*************************************************************************
"On Cross that Bridge, they recorded one of the most haunting songs of the year."
--- Nick Pittman, OFFBEAT MAGAZINE | New Orelans, LA

"From blues to rockabilly to straight-up old-timey and haunting a capella, these ladies make the vintage stuff sound fresh and the new stuff sound retro."
--- Sharon Arms Doucet, AUTHOR | Lafayette, LA

"The Figs can be haunting, uplifting and shimmy-inducing all in the same evening."
---Tim Landry, TIMES OF ACADIANA | Lafayette, LA

"With the girls decked out in modest dresses, each of The Figs' live shows acts as a throwback to equally modest times. It's all girls. It's dresses. It's roots music laced with sugar-sweet harmonies."
--- Tim Landry, TIMES OF ACADIANA | Lafayette, LA

"If there are three things in this world I like, it is women, banjos and ukuleles, and The Figs present all three with the charm of a county fair, their harmonies clear as a church bell."
You gals made my sister's wedding extra special, and you made my godchild's DAY playing "Little Birdie" 5 times. As far as I'm concerned, you are the coolest. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
Please tell me you're going to play some gigs between 18th and 26th August in or around Lafayette? Some of us will have flown all the way over from the UK to stay at the Blue Moon! Hoping to catch the Racines and Jamie Bergeron, so you'd make it a hat-trick...
GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR ACCEPTING MY REQUEST AND ADDING ME TO YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. I WISH EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU THE VERY BEST IN LIFE AND IN EVERYTHING THAT YOU SET OUT TO DO. KEEP ROCKIN' WITH YOUR GREAT SOUNDING MUSIC. CHUCK CHAVEZ
Wish I could sneak into the private function, but I will be willing to wait until the 15th (grudgingly). I wish you all the best in Nashvegas as well. No one can resist Southwest Louisiana women! We will see you at your show. Thank you for visiting Mabels Parlor Band. Come back and see us anytime you like and remember to eat more rhinestones.
Thanks again, Matt
P.S. Now that we are friends, we need bail money for our drummer. We are sort of keeping a running fund.
