Chansey Augustine

Whistle Monsta is back in the Fan Cave, fresh off a trip to Paris and just days from returning to France to continue repping New Orleans and the Saints as an ambassador, and this episode brings a serious guest. Chansey Augustine, official photographer for New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno and co-founder of the Kicking Back NOLA Foundation, sits down for a conversation that goes from picking up a $250 camera during COVID lockdown to shooting WWE Raw and SummerSlam, the Final Four in the Superdome, her first Saints game, and now City Hall.

Replay: Pete Murano

Pete Murano was raised all across America. Born in the Northeast, he moved to St. Louis and finally settled in New Orleans, Louisiana. He developed an attachment to an equally nomadic music form, the blues, at an early age. Starting on saxophone at age 11, he began teaching himself to play guitar as a teenager. Murano's music then underwent a natural evolution as he began to explore R&B and rock. Finding himself drawn to the sights and sounds of the Crescent City, Murano soon relocated to New Orleans. The next piece of his musical maturation would stem directly from the influence of his new home. Murano began learning the standards, becoming a working musician in the dimly lit clubs of the city's fabled Frenchmen street. In 2003, Murano joined forces with Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. Here, he developed a sound that was all his own, combining elements of rock, funk, and R&B. With Shorty, Murano has written, recorded, and toured the world extensively. His sound on guitar is often raw and distorted, yet soulful. Now, on his first solo release, he embraces that sound as it vibrates into the world. Pete also runs the Apollo Clinic which brings local youth into the studio to learn about the process of making music alongside Grammy nominated and Grammy award winning musicians and engineers.
