Quickly becoming THE event following Mardi Gras, The Jamie Galloway Crawfish Boil, which benefits the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic for the sixth year in a row is happening on March 25th. This event will highlight local bands, food, kid’s area and libations. This epic event outside the world-famous Maple Leaf Bar on Oak Street will be the biggest yet, featuring over 7 hours of stellar music and 6,000 lbs. of crawfish. The bash, is in the spirit of health and community, benefits an organization which has provided healthcare to local entertainers for more than twenty years. James ‘Jamie’ Galloway III, a beloved Oak Street musician and chef, was 41 when he passed away in 2012. Originally from Alexandria, Galloway made his life in New Orleans providing his friends and fans with two staples of assured happiness: good food and good music. A fiber in the fabric of the local music scene for over two decades, Jamie played alongside Dave Jordan, festival music director, in the band Juice, providing harmonica, percussion and vocals. In addition to spreading happiness through music, Jamie made sure everyone around him was well fed. This festival honors his love of shared food via its tasty crawfish boil. As was Jamie, the New Orleans Musicians Clinic is an integral part of this city’s music culture, so it is fitting that through this event they are forever linked.
