Drew Landry is a songwriter and musician who lives in Scott, Louisiana, connected to the great local music scene in nearby Lafayette. In his free time, he crawfishes in the Atchafalaya Basin, the large river swamp that cuts south Louisiana in half. After the oil began spilling, Drew tried to volunteer to help with the cleanup, but he says BP never returned his calls. Instead, he has been working to organize coastal residents to advocate for their health, safety, and environmental and economic well-being.
In this clip, taken from the very beginning of our interview, Drew describes why he has been referring to the contemporary scene as “the Cajun Alamo.”
