WWOZ brings together our local, national and international supporters into a distinctive community that celebrates and strengthens the music, musicians, culture and culture bearers of New Orleans.
The 20th Anniversary Mirliton Festival comes to the Bywater on Saturday, November 7, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Live music includes Alex McMurray, Happy Talk Band, Panorama Jazz Band, and many more. And after you've stuffed yourself with all the delicious food from dozens of local vendors like Sucré, the Joint, and Satsuma Café, stop by the WWOZ booth and say hi!
I'm sitting with 'OZ show host Jukebox Jack just before the live broadcast of Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. The WWOZ broadcast truck is to the left and behind us is the WWOZ/SoCo stage under golden-hour sun and near-perfect weather. An ideal closing Sunday for Voodoo.
Singer-songwriter Andrew Duhon was sitting in the WWOZ hospitality tent updating his Twitter account, and I chatted him up about his time at Voodoo before he was golfcarted away to the LOA lounge for a VIP performance.
What's your experience been, being a musician from New Orleans, at Voodoo?
