J & The Causeways

J & The Causeways are a New Orleans-based soul and R&B band led by singer-songwriter and keyboardist Jordan Anderson. Formed on a summer night at the iconic Maple Leaf Bar, the group has crafted a vibrant, festival-style sound marked by powerful vocals, intricate horn and guitar melodies, and a solid rhythm section. They draw on the rich musical traditions of their hometown, blending original soul with a modern edge that resonates deeply in live performances at venues like Tipitina’s and festivals including SXSW and French Quarter Fest. The band has shared stages with notable acts such as The Revivalists, Sublime, and Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, earning a reputation as one of New Orleans’ standout contemporary soul acts.

Jordan Anderson’s passion for music was sparked early by his grandmother’s piano teaching and record collection, inspiring him to find a unique vocal power full of emotional authenticity. With several albums and singles including *Motions*, *You’re With Me*, and *Common Man*, J & The Causeways continue to build on their reputation for delivering soulful, heartfelt music that honors the legacy of artists like Otis Redding and Al Green while forging their own path in today’s music scene.
