Jazz @ the Sandbar ( The Cove, Founders Road, UNO Lakefront Campus) continues as Mike Moreno joins the UNO Guitar Ensemble (directed by Steve Masakowski ). The performance begins at 7:00 p.m. Admission is $5 for the general public and free to the UNO community.
And there's a great evening on the Avenue....Cause it's another lovely southern night for porch sitting and music over at the The Columns (3811 St. Charles Ave.)...Have a fancy cocktail and listen to the guitar stylings of John Rankin! who usually plays solo EXCEPT that Morikeba Kouyate, an amazing Kora
player and African musician, has promised to come in and play for a short set. Also joining in for a few tunes is Jeff Klein on djembe!
Head on over to Mid-City and to Chickie Wah Wah (2828 Canal)! They've got the Pfister Sisters at 5:00 pm, and be sure to stay on for Osborne, Fohl, Sansone at 8:00 pm. Come hungry for delicious pizza, pasta, salads and more!!
