Naptown 2 NOLA Album Release Party with Papa Lebas & Gumbo Ya Ya

Over the past year, some of the biggest musical acts from New Orleans and the DMV came together to record a new album titled Naptown 2 NOLA. Led by songwriter, producer, guitarist & bassist Jeff Muller (aka Papa Lebas), the project is a New Orleans-inspired earthy gumbo of funk, R&B, jazz, blues, zydeco, Cajun, brass band, and more—and a love letter to two vital communities. Among its 63 performers, the album features such notable musicians as Ivan Neville, George Porter Jr., Bill Summers, Chubby Carrier, Tommy Malone, Ron Holloway, Tommy Lepson, Deacon John, Leroy Jones, and many more. To celebrate the album’s release—and introduce the world to an exciting new musical unit—many of the performers will come together as Papa Lebas & Gumbo Ya Ya. This one-time-only show will feature a high-powered band of all star performers at the top of their game bringing the songs from the album, along with other New Orleans gems, to life.
