With roots in jazz, funk, zydeco, cajun, blues and pop, few spots in the U.S. are more musically diverse than Louisiana. Two hours west of New Orleans, Lafayette quintet GIVERS have channeled these myriad influences to become your MTV PUSH Artist of the Week. Formed by lead singer/guitarist Taylor Guarisco and lead singer/percussionist Tiffany Lamson in 2005, the group's joyful, exuberant pop, filtered through Vampire Weekend-inspired afrobeat, led to a 2009 eponymous EP and the eventual release of In Light, GIVERS' debut full-length.
