New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park Concert Series 2025!

My free concert series for children at the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park continues into 2025 on the first Thursday of each month (except August) from 11:00-11:45 AM. This year’s dates are January 2, February 6, March 6, April 3, May 1, June 5, July 3, September 4, October 2, November 6, and December 4.

I hope you will join me for this culturally immersive program about the diverse Louisiana traditions, customs, and cuisine told through toe-tapping tunes influenced by the rich roots music genres of the Bayou State.

Jazzing it Up a Bit at Jazz Fest!

We will be jazzing it up a little bit in the Kids Tent at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival on Sunday, May 8, 2022 from 3:40-4:25 PM. In additional to fan favorites such as Today Is Monday in Louisiana, Feliciana LaRoux and Wiggle Worms, we are adding two jazz tunes to the set list, a family-friendly Bourbon Street Parade and my own Who Got the Baby in the King Cake?

During the pandemic, Scott and I decided to stretch our musical muscles and learn some traditional jazz standards on the ukulele and chromatic harmonica. What we came up with is a set of original and traditional jazz tunes for grown-ups, just for the fun of it. Little did we know, we could use those new brain wrinkles to jazz up our children’s concert at Jazz Fest this week, and our grown-up concert at the Porretta Soul Festival in Porretta Terme, Italy this July.

So we hope you parade on over to the Kids Tent this Sunday for some Louisiana roots music for families!
