In June 2012 I attended the Cajun Zydeco Festival held on the ground of the Old Mint in New Orleans. During the festival there were interviews of performers and I caught the interview of Bruce Daigrepont who is largely responsible for bringing Cajun music back to popularity in NOLA. During the interview he mentioned that his band, Bruce Daigrepont Cajun... More

Oh my god, what a performer! Have heard his music for a while but had never seen him live until the Sunday before Fat Tuesday and man o' man I was blown away!! To hang with the locals and see the best music offered ANYWHERE, get out of the Quarter and find Tips. One of the best music venues in... More

First of all make sure you go to the Tipitina's that is Uptown - not the one in the French Quarter. The music was so great we were surprised, even for New Orleans where good music abounds. There are no chairs but the bar doesn't have long lines and the performers are first rate. I suggest buying tickets online in... More

Saw Maceo Parker. A fine performance, with great sound, and visual. We were in the balcony against the rail. perfect spot as there are no seats all standing room.

It was on a friend's bucket list to visit here, and I'm glad we came along for the experience. We aren't dancers, but watching others dance to cajun music was fun. Be careful of the drinks; they are loaded!!

Seen the Radiator's Reunion at Tipitina's. What a great venue with a TON of history. The place was packed. The views are only obstructed in a few areas. Wait staff was attentive and the drinks were good. I would definitely go again and again.

Tipitina's is a New Orleans modern classic - currently celebrating its 35th anniversary. Its in the heart of uptown so if there is a band that interests you, combine it with an evening away from the Quarter as part of your vacation - go to Columns Hotel for a mint julep or cassamento's for some oysters or Jacques Imo's for...

Saw a fantastic jazz/blues show at Tipitina's which is located in the Warehouse district of New Orleans. I was surprised that there were no tables or chairs. It's essentially one large room with a stage at one end... so make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes for standing. Shannon was the bartender that was serving me and she is a... More

After struggling to find a place that wasn't jammed on Bourbon or Frenchmen Street, decided to try Cajun Fais Do Do on a Sunday evening. Every Sunday starting at 5:30 a Cajun band plays and lots of folks dance - same band has been playing 25 years. At 7 they take a break and serve free red beans and rice... More
