What the Critics are saying...........

"When I write indian songs,  I try to imagine what might come out of Monk's mouth......" (Dr. John to Relix Magazine)

"Monk deploys his voice as a storyteller, a griot of the streets. His original compositions are filled with characters and scenes from his life as an Indian", (Kieth Spera, music writer forthe Times Picayune)

"Big Chief Boudreaux uniquely balances the stark rawness of the Mardi Gras Indian's chants and rhythms heard on the streets and modern instrumentation and influences. Monk makes it real.",  (Geraldine Wykoff for Offbeat Magazine)

In 2005 The Voice of the Wetlands All-stars

In 2005 Monk is in the Live Festival scene in "Hurricane on the Bayou"

In 2005 Since the late 1950s, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux has donned his masked Indian persona, keeping alive the impact of the Mardi Gras Indians on New Orleans music. Boudreaux’s style draws heavily on the tribal chants characteristic of Mardi Gras Indians but also combines funk and traces of R&B. Big Chief Monk Boudreaux has done work with The Golden Eagles, and collaborated with Big Chief Bo Dollis and the Wild Magnolias. In 2002, Boudreaux released a collaborative album with Anders Osborne and finally made his solo debut in 2005 with his hypnotic album, Mr. Stranger Man.

Above is the official print for the 2005 Voice of the Wetlands Festival. The Artist was Richard Thomas who felt compelled to paint the Voice of the Wetlands All-stars during his Katrina evacuation from New Orleans to the bayous where he met Monk's manager Rueben Williams. In 2006 Richard painted Monk again for the 2006 Jazz and Heritage Festivals Congo Square poster.
