Today on World Cafe, we head down to Lafayette, La., for our monthly Acadiana Music Showcase, featuring the best of the region's music.
J Burton, who performs as Grand Nathaniel, makes lo-fi pop gems coated in myth and mystery. Burton has been a fixture in the Lafayette scene for over 30 years, and today, he performs songs from his latest album, Lonely Wanderer.
Burton is joined by vocalist Jessie Devillier, Brycen Gaddis on the drums and Clint Rhodes on the keyboard.
