Nola Live Music Letter

Jun 08, 2017 • Uncategorized

Editor’s Note: There is so much live music in New Orleans, and sometimes it can be rather overwhelming to know what to hear, where to go, or what to do. Writer and music lover Wesley Hodges is giving weekly previews of the live music happening in New Orleans as well as some sneak previews into what is coming up. For a full view of Wesley’s suggestions, check out his facebook page.

I’ve got a couple of tix to give away for Sunday’s Tour de Fat party with Corey Harper and Colin Lake down at the Joy and you can enter for a chance to win here.

It’s another fairly slow week, but JEFF The Brotherhood tomorrow night at Gasa should be a rockin’ midweek show and there were a number of big announcements for fall shows last week: Arcade Fire, The Shins, Thundercat, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Vagabon all got added to the fall docket recently.

I’m working on a more nationally-focused concept similar to this, delivered quarterly. If you’d like to sign up for that, you can do so here: http://eepurl.com/cO0qpv

Check out my summer “Humid Ciddity” playlist (music for floating in pools) here and a refreshed concert calendar below.For a more comprehensive local listing of concerts, check out WWOZ’s Livewire. Have a great week.
