The legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band brings its brand of New Orleans jazz and funk to the Live Music Capital. The Second Line is always hopping with these titans of big band, jazz, and gritty swing. It’s a largeness in sound fitting for a pregame, their band’s music headier than any liquor you’d imbibe before going out to get even dippier on the sauce. Their latest work, 2022’s inspired collaboration with the legendary NOLA trumpeter Charlie Gabriel, Eighty Nine, highlights that these cats are more than bombastic big band. Special guest locals Big Wy’s Brass Band opens.
