We were pleased to bring you Doreen Ketchens in concert, live from the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Center, tonight! Check out the video of her whole set below.

Doreen Ketchens is no ordinary street musician. Although when home in New Orleans she can often be found on Royal Street performing for tourists and other French Quarter strollers, she is an international attraction at festivals and concerts and has performed for four United States presidents.

She is one of the first and few female bandleaders in New Orleans, and a music educator. She and her band, Doreen's Jazz New Orleans, have performed around the world and they are widely considered one of the cultural ambassadors of New Orleans and of the city’s traditional jazz style.
