The album's private listening parties have applauded Sassyfras' style, which describes it as a new wave and electro-pop hybrid with heavy zydeco influence. Of note are the tracks "Zydeco Girl," which serves as her artist's statement and explains the entire Sassyfras philosophy. Also of note is her song, "Once a Who Dat" which could possibly be a contender for the next anthem for the NFL team, The New Orleans Saints.
In her eighth year performing throughout Louisiana, she has played alongside Louis Michot's Melody Makers, 3rd generation zydeco royalty Gerard Delafonse, and has become a staple at New Orleans events such as the Freret Street Market and Bayou Yacht Club Bayou Gras. She even has her very own Mardi Gras event, the Krewe of Sass. A regular at historic venues like Old Point Bar, Three Keys at the Ace Hotel, and St. Roch Tavern, among many others, her music is also popular at brunchtime shows, most recently at the Live Oak Café.
Sassyfras's breakout hits "Girl's Night Out," "Hide the Pickle," and "T-Rex & Me," earned her the spotlight on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, MTV's Ridiculousness, and twice on America's Got Talent. Her fans, aka "Sassers" love her and follow her anywhere, from her famous "Yardi Parties" to her annual "Horny and Lazy Christmas Spectacular". "I love making people forget their troubles, have a laugh and enjoy life," Sassyfras says. "It's fun to add a little sass to your life".
A marvelous musician and entertainer with Louisiana roots, Sassyfras's life story is featured in a documentary, "Nobody May Come," a film which won Best Cinematography at the 2020 New Orleans Film Festival.
