We are thrilled to announce that we are performing in the Kids Tent at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on Sunday, May 4, 2025 from 2:45-3:35 PM. This Louisiana roots music concert for children and their families introduces children to the rich musician heritage of New Orleans and across the Bayou State. It’s a romp in the swamp you won’t want to miss. Tickets available at jazzfest.com. New Orleans Fairgounds.

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!
