Upcoming Shows

“Mean” Willie Green is a hard hitting New Orleans superstar who has seen it all as he sat behind the drum kit for decades with the one and only Neville Brothers. Creating his own unique style of Big Easy percussion, Willie's drum beats are recognized worldwide. He has played with many of the greatest musicians of our time including The Nevilles, The Grateful Dead, and Bob Dylan. Recent medical & life expenses have made retirement difficult for Willie Green. In an effort to offer him some financial relief, local musicians are banding together to entertain the public while encouraging them to make donations to a longtime decorated and admired performer of the New Orleans music community.

Performances for the night will feature The New Orleans Suspects, The New Orleans Klezmer All Stars and a very special set featuring a rotating cast of drummers from around the city. Crawfish will be boiled by Parish Seafood Company and available for sale to the public on a first come first serve basis.

Doors 7pm | Show 7:30pm
