2005 is a powerful musical memoir from New Orleans native Allay Earhart, telling the coming-of-age story of a young boy growing up in the Calliope Projects—surrounded by both the harsh realities of poverty, crime, and violence, and the warmth of love, community, and cultural pride. Everything changes in the year 2005, when Hurricane Katrina devastates the city, forever altering the trajectory of his life.
 
Two decades later, Allay commemorates the 20-year anniversary of the storm with a vivid, heartfelt tribute to the city that shaped him. 2005 captures life before Katrina—the rhythms, traditions, and close-knit neighborhoods—and the complex aftermath that followed, touching on gentrification, peer pressure, inner-city violence, grief, resilience, and the unshakable spirit of New Orleans.
 
With cinematic storytelling and cultural authenticity, Allay Earhart delivers a masterpiece that stands as both a personal testimony and a historic work of New Orleans culture preservation—an album destined to be remembered for generations.
