Where do I need to go for some New Orleans funk?
George Porter Jr doesn't have anything on his schedule. Galactic is outta town. What to do, what to do.

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | Make sure you see Big Al Carson. That guy is phenomenal! If you want a great Bloodymary or the best drink prices around check out the Erin Rose on Conti st. It's a teeny little dive bar, but it's my favorite place of all!

Back on topic:
You can always head down to Frenchmen Street. Clubs all in a row such as DBA, Spotted Cat, Apple Barrell, Blue Nile. You can just walk down the street and find something that you like. Good mix of local music not really geared to tourists.

Moderator | | Join Date: Feb 2002 Location: Mobile, Al | | I had a good time tonight at http://www.wednesdaysonthepoint.com/ and hope I'll be back in town for next week's. It'd be helpful to know when you're coming and what part of town you're looking at, or if that makes a difference.

For the record Im from Louisiana.
I prefer the Daytime N.O. scene rather than the night, if that makes ANY difference. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Bristol, England | | I'd love to go to new Orleans. Was lucky enough to see many of the big names in London O2 Arena for free (2 day festival). A couple of years ago. Which happened alongside a match between the Saints and another team at Wembly.
Dr John, Allen Tousaint, Rebirth brass band, New birth brass band, Beusoleil, Buckwheat zydeco, John Mooney...
Went in a mere Meters fan (they weren't there). Came out a lover of brass bands, NOLA Rock n' roll / RnB and more 
Also digging Galactic atm

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Tulsa, Ok | | | Spent the last 4 days in NOLA and had a blast! Went all over the place. The French Quarter had some great brass bands on the street, a great funk/r & b band called Deja Vu (Alembic bass and GK rig) at 541Funk and another great funk/r & b band near the french market. I didn't catch their name but their bass player was the best one I saw. He was playing a Marlieux (sp?) 5 string bass and an Eden rig.
Spent most of my time on Frenchmen Street. The Blue Nile rocks! An outstanding blues/funk band on Sat and Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey on Sun. I also spent time at a Reggae club, the name escapes me. The band was Higher Heights and the bass player was Wanda. She was totally cool and down with a great reggae feel. She played a Tobias Toby 5 string and an Ampeg rig. Another player came and sat in for a bit and he was so tight with the drummer that I thought that he was a member of the band until I found out later that it was Wanda.
I ate too much and didn't drink enough. It was a great time and I'm planning in going back this winter some time.
