HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s Columbia Theatre for the Performing
Arts will present Durand Jones and the Indications, a deep soul revival band, in one
performance only. Scheduled Nov. 1, at 7:30 p.m., the concert will take place in the
downtown Hammond theatre.
Columbia Theatre Artistic Director Jim Winter is looking forward to welcoming Jones
home.
“Durand is a Southeastern alumnus who is a rising star. His fantastic, soul-influenced
band recently played on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ and ‘CBS This Morning,’” Winter said.
“We are thrilled to have him returning to his roots. My staff and I are currently
working very hard to make Nov. 1 a special night celebrating some of Southeastern’s
most successful alums.”
In celebration of Jones’ return to Southeastern, Columbia Theatre will be serving
Gnarly Barley, a beer brewed by Southeastern alumni Zac and Cari Caramonta, offering
a special discount for alumni that night, and hosting additional surprise guest alumni
for the curtain speech and lobby greeters.
Tickets for Durand Jones and the Indications are $36 in the orchestra or balcony
and $45 in the loge. Tickets can be purchased at the Columbia Theatre Box Office at
220 East Thomas Street in Hammond, which is open 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday-Friday,
online at columbiatheatre.org, or by phone at 985-543-4371.
A special Southeastern student ticket price of $10 is available, while supplies
last. Students must present their Southeastern IDs at the Columbia box office to receive
the discounted price. Additionally, all Southeastern faculty, retired faculty
or university staff with ID may purchase one ticket for the concert and receive one
ticket at half price. Both tickets must be purchased in the same transaction and for
the same price at the Columbia box office.
