“Multi-Hyphenate Mondays” hosted by Pat Smith & J.Mix, celebrates New Orleans artists lesser-known talents. Oftentimes, artists aren’t given the time and space to share talents that they don’t monetize off of. This show gives them a chance to do that with a welcoming audience who roots them on for stepping out of their comfort-zone. MHM is the “sandbox” gathering for artists and creatives.

Mondays are hard. They are SO hard. Our producers have taken extra time and care to make sure our audience has something hopeful to look forward to. The show features positive segments such as “Small Wins” that anonymously highlight the personal accomplishments of our audience members. This segment uniquely manifests itself in a multitude of ways during each show and gets the featured guests, hosts, and the entire audience involved in a collaborative jam session that is sure to make you smile and proud of your unique personal growth. Multi-Hyphenate Mondays is currently running every first Monday of the month at the AllWays Lounge. Visit mhmnola.eventbrite.com for our upcoming dates!

Building on their debut's success, NOLA RESISTANCE's second album, "Crescent City Connection," introduced a stellar lineup of Crescent City all-stars. With luminaries like Herlin Riley, Darrell Lavigne, and June Yamagishi, the band expanded its sonic palette. The album's five hopeful tracks, including the title song, celebrate love, joy, and the resilient spirit of New Orleans. As their mission evolved, NOLA RESISTANCE aimed to uplift listeners beyond protest, infusing their music with messages of hope, love, and unity.

Crescent City Connection addresses contemporary issues, with tracks like "Gentrification" tackling the challenges faced by neighborhoods in the wake of urban changes. The band's dedication to hope and distraction is encapsulated in Brian D'Arcy's words: "No one can survive without hope. Crescent City Connection provides both hopefulness and distraction from tough events, contributing to the resilience of our communities." NOLA RESISTANCE continues to captivate audiences, fusing the power of music with a commitment to social consciousness.

Martin ‘Bats’ Bradford is an actor, writer and filmmaker. A native of New Orleans, La. and a graduate of Dillard University where he studied Mass Communications and Theatre Arts. Being bit by the acting bug as a child, Bradford began writing and acting in school and church plays, often jokingly citing how supportive church audiences can be for an artist’s development because “the church members won’t boo you,” these experiences propelled him into a myriad of camps, workshops, intensives and productions well into college and beyond. With film credits such as “Night Teeth”, “Synchronic”, “Tales from the Hood 2”, “Venom”, "9th Ward Justice", “The Dirt”, “Greenbook” and “When We First Met”, as well as television credits ranging from “The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey”, “Killing It”, “The Outsider”, “Your Honor”, “American Horror Story”, “Zoo”, “NCIS: New Orleans” and more.

“I live to tell stories through my art, specifically bringing heart and truth to the stories of those society trains us to ignore.” - Martin Bats Bradford
