Singer/Songwriter and Guitarist “Louisiana” Claude Hitt grew up in Singapore where he started his musical odyssey! Now back in Louisiana, Claude is a hallmark of the New Orleans blues scene. Inspired by The Allman Brothers, The Rolling Stones, T-Rex, and Z Z Top, Claude has fine-tuned his original blues sound. He’s played across New Orleans including at the Howling Wolf, Buddha Belly, Rusty Nail, Checkpoint Charlie’s, and Luckys.

“Sittin in the Jailhouse” comes from a personal story of Claude’s close relative who was arrested for a crime, didn’t show up to court, was held in contempt, and then decided to spend 6 months in jail instead of posting bail. After 2 weeks, she called her mom for the bail money to be picked up. On the way back from the jail, Claude wrote this heartfelt song.
