The legendary trombonist Fred Wesley of the J.B.’s will headline a New Orleans All-Star team including Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff of Lettuce, Sam Kininger of Soulive, Russell Batiste & Friends, and Billy Iuso.
Doors will open at 8pm and the show will go live at 9pm. The show will also be livestreamed on nugs.net – details on how to join will be announced in March.
Raffle tickets will go on sale soon. Stay tuned! You won’t want to miss your chance at these incredible prizes generously donated by Tipitina’s including a 1st Weekend New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival Golden Ticket and two Tipitina’s posters custom framed by Uptown Frames.
Also up for grabs is a Frenchy print on canvas, signed Leroy Mitchell Whistle Monster Bobble Head, signed copy of Fred Wesly’s book, and more! We will be announcing the lucky winners during the show’s intermission.

Proceeds from the show and raffle will go towards supporting The Alliance’s work advocating for equitable, affordable, environmentally responsible energy systems for all Louisianans. We believe that there is no conflict between lower energy costs and lower pollution, or between good jobs and regulation. As Louisiana’s only dedicated Watchdog we work hard to give Louisiana residents a voice at the table when it comes to keeping the lights on, and to fight for an energy future that works for everyone.

While we are often opposed by powerful corporations and entrenched interests, our supporters and community partnerships have magnified our successes. Check out our blog post about our recent victories.
