2011 Salon Series at Lusher Summer Jazz Intensive.
Reverend David Lee "Goat" Carson
Arriving in New Orleans in 1994, and after jamming at Muddy Waters with Dave Clemments, Johnny J, and Joey Torres, Goat embraced New Orleans as his home. In 1994, he organized the first Sacred Circle in Congo Square bringing Native Americans together with Mardi Gras Indians. Soon thereafter, the White Buffalo was born and New Orleans declared August 27th White Buffalo Day.
In 1996, Goat was ordained as a Reverend in the Power of Faith Ministries, which aims to bring all people together on the basis of equality with respect for the Native American spiritual path. He now sits on the board for the Ministerial Alliance for Environmental Justice.
During a long post-Katrina exile, Goat co-wrote four songs on Dr. John’s new CD “CITY THAT CARE FORGOT,” including title cut, CITY THAT CARE FORGOT, DREAMWARRIOR, SAY WHAT? and MY PEOPLE NEED ASECOND LINE. This album was recently honored with a Grammy as Best Contemporary Blues Album of the year.
