Dave Jordan & The NIA
(Neighborhood Improvement Association)

Swampy, Roots-Rock Band, Dave Jordan & The NIA deliver heavy hooks and a supremely memorable sound. Dave Jordan’s music has been described as a swampy love child of Tom Petty meets Dr. John meets John Prine. Their most recent album, No Losers Tonight (2016) was produced by Jeff Watkins. As a solo artist, Dave quickly emerged as one of

the most talked about roots rock acts in New Orleans with his critically acclaimed solo debut, album: These Old Boots (co-produced by Anders Osborne in 2010) was named a Top 10 record of the year by the Times Picayune and nola.com followed by the release of Bring Back Red Raspberry (2013). They regularly gig at clubs like Tipitina's and the Maple Leaf in New Orleans and tour extensively in Colorado and throughout the Southeast and Mid Atlantic with plans to expand out to the west coast. Dave Jordan’s song the "Biggest Little Shrimp In Town," the title track of an award-winning short film, was re-recorded by Art Neville; and the Beverly Hills Short Film Festival created an award for Best Song to recognize their collaboration. With the release of No Losers Tonight in 2016, the band was nominated for Best Roots Rock Artist and Roots Rock Band by Offbeat Magazine later that year. The band has witnessed exponential growth in both their live and digital fan following as they continue to build their tour schedule playing in new markets in legendary music venues, notable clubs, and festivals. Dave has played with many of New Orleans' finest musicians- George Porter, Anders Osborne, Joe Krown, Jeff Watkins, Art Neville, The Meters- as well as shared the stage with acts like Little Feat, Widespread Panic, Leftover Salmon and Galactic. Co-band leader, Mike Doussan, a New Orleans native, started playing in clubs around New Orleans in 2004 as a "sit in" musician. He has been a member of numerous New Orleans based bands including Gradoux, Crescent City Allstars, 101 Runners, Six Strings Down (w/Billy Iuso, Josh Garrett, & John Lisi), and Irene Sage. He has also played alongside Dr. John, Warren Haynes, Walter Wolfman Washington, Tab Benoit, Joe Bonamassa, Dave Malone and Camile Baudoin of Radiators fame, and Anders Osborne, to name a few. Over the past 10 years, Mike has released 2 records of all original material, West Bank Mike & the Fisher Project "Muse in the Kitchen"(2006) and Mike Doussan "Sin Or Salvation"(2014). In 2013, Mike joined forces with Dave Jordan & The NIA (Neighborhood Improvement Association) as lead guitarist. Mike has become an integral part of the band serving not only as lead guitarist and vocalist, but also as a co-writer showcased on the 2016 NIA release "No Losers Tonight." Mike is touring extensively with the NIA promoting their new record, as well as writing, recording, and performing his own music with a new release tentatively coming out later this year.

New Orleans, on Friday Jan. 19th come out and jam with me for my annual Maple Leaf birthday gig. It’s a little earlier this year, but that just means I get to celebrate longer!

I’m throwing it back and gonna do a bunch of stuff Juice used to play, so it’s gonna be an old school, Oak Street throwdown. Chris Mulé will be joining me on guitar, and some may remember, he was one of the early guitar players in Juice and was on the first album. Trevor Brooks will be on piano and organ, so we can funk it up a little harder. I’ll also be joined by the regular badasses, Rurik Nunan on violin; Will Repholz on bass; and Justin Headley on drums. We’ll do some of the stuff Jamie Galloway used to sing too. I might even play some bass!

Help spread the word and come celebrate with me! Ticket link in comments.

12/08/2023

Yo! DBA tonight. My last local gig til late January. Please come join us as we bid a fond farewell to Tom Thayer and Mike Kohn and all the love and support they have given so many musicians over the years; and we usher in and welcome the new ownership group. It’s Mike’s bday at midnight and after about 15 years, it’s his last shift ever at DBA. It’s also my lovely friend Gwen Dabbs Parker’s bday at midnight and she’s gonna be there with bells on. So come on out and rock with us as we usher in all the new adventures! It’s gonna be a love fest. We hit at 10ish.

Hey folks, this Friday will be my last local gig til late January. Come on out so I can wish you happy holidays! It’s also Mike Kohn’s last night at DBA (neighbor Mike to all my Covid-live-stream watchers) and his bday is at midnight. So let’s all spread some holiday cheer and give Mike a big send off to grand new adventures and another trip around the sun!

As you all may know, DBA recently sold, so I’m also going to give a toast to Tom Thayer for treating all the musicians so respectfully and running a top notch music joint for the last two decades or so. And we’re gonna raise the glass to the new owners and wish them all the luck on their new venture. It’s gonna be a lot!!

I’ll be joined by Thomas Johnson on guitar; Michael Harvey on fiddle; David Shirley on drums; and Scott Jackson on bass. 10pm start time!

12/04/2023

This is always a good time and I’m psyched to head back to and to see all our friends on 30A. I’ll be there with the trio + 1: on bass; on violin; on drums. More details and lineup coming soon!

11/28/2023

Jamie Risbourg painted this one at our show last night. I really dig it. It has an old time feel to it, like a bygone era. Maybe it’s just Thomas Johnson’s overalls, I don’t know.

Yo!!! Rurik Nunan and I will be rolling down River Rd to the great state of Harahan to play some tunes at Seither's Seafood tomorrow. Rumor is there will be a photographer there from The Great Book of PoBoys to document this one of a kind food and music experience. Come be in that number and get some deliciousness! We’ll hit around 5pm.

Will Repholz and I did the duo thing yesterday at Jack B Nola’s porch stage. We hadn’t done one of these in awhile and we were having so much fun, we ended up playing nearly 2.5 hours straight.

That’s a wrap! Had the enormously talented in the studio today with me and , putting the final touches on the next album. Now I want cello on every song. 😂 We’ll send it off to to mix it and should have it out by late winter/early spring. Pretty psyched!

10/09/2023

This past weekend was my first full NIA gig and slammed schedule (4 gigs in 3 days, 5 hour drives each way), since before I went into the hospital in June. I’ve had some trepidation about my new reality, my gig stamina, etc. It was all good news. We kicked the rust off, played ferociously and all seems A-ok in my world. We even busted out some new songs.

I’m really looking forward to rocking the hometown gigs this weekend. These are our first gigs in town since June and the only local full band gigs on the calendar until next year. I’m looking forward to seeing a bunch of friendly faces and rocking our favorite joints. Aaaannnddd, paying tribute to John Prine. Please help us spread the word and I highly recommend y’all be there. This band smokes. The easiest way to support a band is to show up.
