Nola Live Music Letter

Editor’s Note: There is so much live music in New Orleans, and sometimes it can be rather overwhelming to know what to hear, where to go, or what to do. Writer and music lover Wesley Hodges is giving weekly previews of the live music happening in New Orleans as well as some sneak previews into what is coming up. For a full view of Wesley’s suggestions, check out his facebook page

Professor

The first of three big Carnival weekends awaits on the other side of this week and the local live music calendar provides ample reasons to celebrate this weekend.

Be sure to check the NOLA Live Music Letter FB page, and, as always, for a more comprehensive concert listing, visit WWOZ’s Livewire.
