Pokey, who sings the anthem, will be performing at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the St. Tammany Crab Festival.

News with a Twist host LBJ sat down with Pokey in the Twist studio.

Here’s their interview:

LBJ: So, of all the songs people want to hear when you are up on the stage, you got “They Call Me Pokey,” the “Sidepiece,” and the new one. What’s the new one?

Pokey: The new album is called Bear Season. The first single off that is “I Can’t Be Faithful.”
