About me
Gerard, “Bo Jr.” Dollis is Mardi Gras Indian royalty. The Big Chief of the fabled Wild Magnolias Mardi Gras Indians inherited the role from his father Bo Dollis, the galvanic singer whose piercing cry summoned a generation of Black Indians into public view through the hit single “Handa Wanda.” As the Wild Magnolias became an international phenomenon, Bo Jr. started parading as a child. Whenever he could he went to the Indian practices and hung with the gang, learning the folklore and chants from his elders. When Bo passed away in 2015, Bo Jr. had learned his lessons well and was ready to take over the Big Chief’s golden crown from his dad. As a Millennial, Bo Jr. understands how New Orleans music has evolved. He brought a mixture of time-honored ideas and fresh takes to My Name Is Bo. Bo’s singing is strong throughout and his songwriting stamps him as a New Orleans cultural leader.
