About this concert

Limited socially distanced pods of 2 and 4 seats are available in a general admission format. Purchase of that pod gives you admission for that number of people. Masks must be worn at all times when entering/leaving the venue and when not eating or drinking. And I cant believe Im writing this, but under current restrictions, no dancing is allowed. Somewhere Kevin Bacon is giggling.We Partyin! Kermit Ruffins needs only two words to hype a New Orleans barroom for one of his weekly shows, and this, his personal slogan, sums up what this Big Easy ambassador is all about. From playing himself in the HBO Series Treme, to barbecuing outside his bar, Kermits Treme Mother-inLaw Lounge, to sitting in with Jon Batiste and Stay Human on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the trumpeter/vocalist keeps himself busy when he isnt on stage doing what he does bestentertaining and sharing his love of life with the world. He personifies the laid-back vibe of New Orleans.

Kermit Ruffins Biography

Originally a founding member in the 1980's of New Orleans' popular Rebirth Brass Band, with whom he recorded seven lively albums and toured the world. Ruffins branched out on his own in the early 1990's with his own band, a more traditional New Orleans jazz combo, but has also performed with The Kermit Ruffins Big Band. His style is most reminiscent of great Nawlin's trumpeter Louis Armstrong, He regularly performs with his backing band called the Barbecue Swingers in local New Orleans clubs. Ingeniously, he also shows up with a truck that sells Bar BQ off to the side, easily doubling a night's musician pay, satisfying fans stomach as well as spirit. He's also guested on many recordings including records from artists like Los Hombres Calientes and Harry Connick, Jr..
