IT'S HAPPENING
VOODOO ROUX

Tattered shop signs reveal layers of pastel paints battered by hurricanes, humidity and horns. Purple, green and gold metallic beads draped over rod iron fleur de lis embellished balconies swoosh in a gust of the September wind. The rattatat of a drum lures us in off the lane into a dark, musty room. As our eyes adjust, the clink of ice invites us to the bar, a weathered drawl welcomes into the Hall. Our shoulders drop, feet start to tap, we settle into to one of many epic encounters, diving deep into the seductive past, present and future of New Orleans.

VOODOO ROUX

Join us on Friday, September 29th for a journey into the heart of New Orleans ~ a weekend roux of music, food, drinking and delight; a once-in-a-lifetime feast for the senses.

A Voodoo blessing sets intentions; while the first of two, thoughtfully curated dinner parties sets the stage. Over two nights and a day, we will experience the Big Easy like true insiders, side-door’ing into the city’s most legendary restaurants, music venues, and dive bars.

If you think you’ve seen New Orleans, think again!

PRESERVATION JAZZ HALL
Through the iron gate lies one of the world’s most respected music venues and the spiritual home of New Orleans jazz. “The past and promise of American music” (Rolling Stone), Preservation Hall is a true New Orleans institution that defines the tradition of Crescent City music.

Founded in 1961 by tuba player Allan Jaffe, the Preservation Jazz Hall Band was formed to preserve the city’s priceless musical heritage and give their veteran musicians a place to play, and it instantly attracted players linked to the glory days of the 1920s. Now run by Jaffe’s son, tuba player Ben Jaffe, the group features a wealth of New Orleans talent, including versatile singer and instrumentalist Clint Maedgen, pianist Kyle Roussel, and trombonist Ronell Johnson, who joined the band in 2012.
