New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival

New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival

The lineup for this year’s New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has been announced. There’s a lot to sort through at the main website which frustratingly begins with great big photos of Arcade Fire and Bon Jovi, neither of which I associate with New Orleans jazz or heritage. So it’s great to see that the Cajun, Louisiana Creole and Zydeco Music blog has posted a summary of traditional Louisiana musicians who will be performing. Favorite musicians of mine who will be there include Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, Joel Savoy, Yvette Landry, BeauSoleil, and Geno Delafose & French Rockin’ Boogie.
