Duke Ellington Jazz Festival – Awesome!

DSCN0178

Alright, I think I have to bring back the PoP weekend picks because this was awesome. All week they’ve been having concerts at various venues around town and this weekend they had a 2 day free concert by the Washington Monument. I hit one show at Bohemian Caverns and stopped by the Mall on Sunday. The concert on the mall was fantastic. I caught Buckwheat Zydeco:

    I had a ton of fun, was hanging out there on Sunday and enjoyed Buckwheat Zydeco too. I was a little bummed about how long the wait was in between sets, but the atmosphere and music was great.

    Once again, the Rebirth Brass Band funked it up on Saturday. Glad to see so many people reppin New Orleans, Loyola, and Tulane shirts. I had my Saints cap

  • Steve on D

    I was there for all ten bands. Fantastic. My favorite was Tronbone Shorty but there were all great
