What makes New Orleans Music Heritage Tour a unique experience ?
Meet your guide, Keith (a Louisiana record man with more than 20 years of record business experience), at the Louisiana Music Factory on Frenchmen Street – the most musical street in New Orleans. Spend approximately 2 hours and a dozen songs while we walk through historic New Orleans ‘faubourgs’ (neighborhoods) – the Marigny, French Quarter, and Treme – spanning space, time and genres we learn 300 years of New Orleans Music & Heritage. The aural-visual walking tour is accompanied by Bluetooth speaker capability to provide musical accompaniment of the artists and locations along the tour. This is Keith’s favorite record store – everything we talk about on the tour, you can get here!
Cross Esplanade then turn on Chartres Street and pay a visit to the boyhood home of Danny Parker. Along with his rambunctious and bawdy-singing wife Blue Lu, we learn how a single man can save New Orleans Brass Band heritage. Next are stops in the Place de Armes, Preservation Jazz Hall, a stroll down Bourbon Street to Mister New Orleans, and J&M Studios – the ‘Home of Rock N’ Roll.’
Sandra and Allan Jaffe visited on their honeymoon and found their life giving home at Pres Hall. Visit the gift shop and take a photo while here.
At one-time Bourbon Street was the most musical street in the world! Cats like Louis Prima, Al Hirt and Pete Fountain blaring Jazz through the hot, wet night air. Saunter or sashay with us as we hear Basin Street Blues blowing on a Clarinet.
Here you’ll see the Louis Armstrong statue. While in the Treme, America’s 1st African-American neighborhood, you’ll hear about their influence in New Orleans music and heritage.
Stops in Armstrong Park include Congo Square.
