Amplify: Louisiana

At Odyssey Studios, we believe that music is more than entertainment—it’s the heartbeat of a destination. Amplify: Louisiana, our three-part mini-series, set out to capture the state’s deep-rooted musical heritage while giving audiences an intimate look at its vibrant culture. From jazz and zydeco to gospel and blues, Amplify: Louisiana brought the sounds of the state to life, exposing how history, culture, and music are inseparable.

With Amplify, no two seasons are alike—each series is shaped by the destination itself. Louisiana’s influence on music is unmatched, making it the perfect setting for a season that dives into the deep connections between place, history, and sound.

 

Directed by Gaven Bellour, Executive Produced by Jordan Wollman and Claire Wingate, and brought to life by host Sean Ardoin, the series traveled across three distinct regions of Louisiana. Through rich cinematography and immersive storytelling, Amplify: Louisiana highlighted the state’s musical icons, unsung legends, and the cultural roots that continue to inspire artists worldwide.
