Good Morning All,
Why is there sooooo much to do in this Town?? But seriously I'm not complainin'....
Two of my most favorite events are today, and I haven't figured out how to clone myself - so you decide what you want to do.
Wednesday Events
First, it's Wednesday, so that can mean only one thing....Lafayette Square and this is the big one before Jazz Fest weekend. For this week's installment of Wednesday at the Square....we have Amanda Shaw (who I love!!) plus Mark Adam Miller (who is amazing!). Things get kicked off at 5:00 and go all the way to 7:30. Be sure to check out the cool art and yummy food while you're cruising around.
Okay, to make my life super confusing it's also the Ochsner Swing in the Oaks. It's a free concert with the LPO on City Park's Goldring/Woldenberg Great Lawn starting up at 6:30 pm. Enjoy a spectacular evening of popular favorites from Sullivan's H.M.S Pinafore to Gershwin's Girl Crazy Overture to Sondheim's Gypsy Overture. Be sure to bring your picnics, family, and friends for a fun-filled evening! This is such a special event and it's so much fun to check out the super fancy picnics some people bring out there!
Alright, once you've solved your early evening scheduling dilemna...here's what's going on tonight!
Wednesday Evening Music
If you're in the Marigny be sure to go by dba on Frenchmen Street for the early show at 7:00 pm with the Mirlitones (don't you love the name!)...and Walter Wolfman Washington is in for the 10:00 pm show!
The Iguanas are back at Chicke Wah Wah on Canal for a Wednesday night show through April 19th. The band gears up at 8:00 pm - so put on your dancing shoes and go check it out!
A little later in the evening you've got Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue record release party at the Republic (828 S. Peters). Show starts up at 9:00 pm ..check out this line-up! The event will be hosted by Kermit Ruffins with performances by Rebirth Brass Band, Free Agents Brass Band, Hot 8 Brass Band and Juvenile. Other Special Invited guests include Irvin Mayfield, James Andrews, Big Sam of Big Sam's Funky Nation, Shamarr Allen and actor Wendell Pierce. The event is open to all fans and friends of Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue. To attend, Please RSVP to meetusbackatown@gmail.com for list admission.
Well...that should keep you busy for now. Be sure to check out Offbeat for all the music going down in Town! And by the way.....Only two more days 'til Jazz Fest!!!

Monday is Hooky Day and Free Red Beans
Good Morning!
What a beautiful day and another good one for playin' Monday hooky....so besides just lounging around on a blanket at your park of choice....City, Audubon, Lafreniere, the Lakefront or just cruising around the Quarter....Here are some fun things to do today!
For those of you who stayed in bed too long, and are looking for a unique New Orleans thing to do....Check out Vella Vetro Art Glass at 3000 Royal St on the 2nd Floor. You can come by anytime Monday thru Friday 9 - 3 pm for free glass blowing demonstrations.
If you decided to go hang out at City Park to feed the ducks and crazy geese....be sure to check out the fancy new dog park - NOLA City Bark....and if you have a pup of your own....you can register them for a small fee...also, doggie must be up to date with shots.
Well if you had enough relaxing in the park on this gorgeous day - here are some fun music events for tonight!!
Featured Monday Music
For some FREE red beans and rice and the cool sounds of Amanda Walker....take a walk along the River Road levee this evening and make a stop at the River Shack Tavern...Amanda and the band will be playing at 7:00 pm tonite!
The Columns on St. Charles Avenue has Cajun music legend David Doucet at 8:00 pm. Sit on the porch, drink a cocktail and watch the streetcars go by.
Another amazing early evening show is Bob French & the Original Tuxedo Band - stop by Irvin Mayfield's Jazz Playhouse at about 8:00 pm to hear Mr. French and the Band...you'll be glad you did. I even heard he had an audience with the President recently...and NO COVER.
The always super fun Chickie Wah Wah on Canal Street, has Evan Christopher and Clarinet Road at 8:00 pm.....and be sure to enjoy some yummy food while you listen.
If you're lookin' for some bluegrass music this evening...you don't have to go too far to find it....Check out the Hi Ho Lounge and the Bluegrass Pickin' Party at 8:00 pm...I hear there's no cover and FREE red beans at this show too!
