Sarah McCoy and The Oopsie Daisies

What began as a busking duo between front woman, Sarah McCoy, and glockenspiel player, Alyssa Potter, The Oopsie Daisies has evolved into one of New Orleans' new favorite musical oddities. Sarah McCoy & The Oopsie Daisies features an instrumentation of piano, vocals (McCoy), glockenspiel (Potter), standup bass (Rucker), and drum/guitar(Geloso). Sarah McCoy and The Oopsie Daisies are renown for using unusual tricks and stunts to enhance their performance both visually and auditorally. For instance, McCoy often uses washtub buckets to amplify her voice and uses pop rocks, instead, on a microphone to create a record player effect over her songs. Acting as the booming front force of this project, singer-songwriter, McCoy uses other her musical and theatrical training to construct an environment rich with mood. Though her tricks are light hearted and delivered with quick-wit humor, McCoy's songs are lyrically dark with hopeful resolutions. With a mouth like a cannon and a voice like bayou thunder, McCoy delivers her message powerfully to the ears and hearts of her listeners. A participant in any given Oopsie Daisie show can expect to hear a variety of styles ranging through (but not limited to): ragtime-cabaret, thunder-piano rock, blues, gypsy-jazz, growling waltzes and deadly lullabies. In November of 2012, an early mutation of Sarah McCoy & The Oopsie Daisies released their first album: "Live From New Orleans 2012." Dates for a duo tour with McCoy and Potter in France will be posted shortly.
