Best Music Venues in New Orleans
February 26th, 2010Shelley
File this entry under fun things to do in New Orleans. In the January issue of my Southern Living magazine readers selected House of Blues New Orleans as the best live music venue in Louisiana. I’ve probably walked by HOB NOLA hundreds of times, but I’ve never stopped in – maybe we should give it a try while we’re in town for the SmartFindExpress Solutions Summit conference. Anyone interested? Rumor has it there’s a metal box of Mississippi Delta mud underneath the stage.
The thing is, the Crescent City has tons of music venues. I love this quote from the Southern Living article, “There’s more live music in New Orleans than anyone could ever hear in a lifetime of late nights.” That same article included Harry Connick, Jr’s top 3 music venues:
- Preservation Hall (see Shelley’s Picks; HCJ and I are on the same page)
- Tipitina’s (another Shelley’s Pick; I swear, we must have been separated at birth!)
- Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro (never been, but it’s on my list!)
So, there you have it! Plenty of great suggestions for live music in New Orleans. Okay, readers, now it’s your turn. Do you have any recommendations? Share them by adding a comment to this post. Laissez les bon temps rouler y’all!
