The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (known by its nickname, Jazz Fest) is an incredible, immersive festival, but it can also be exhausting – full days of music out in the elements can test even the most seasoned festival goers. Once you’ve spent all day outside festing, you’ll want to relax indoors with a cold cocktail in hand. That’s why we’re pleased to revive our annual Jazzy Jam free live music series, happening every night after Jazz Fest in The Carousel Bar & Lounge.
Unwind in the elegant atmosphere of our bar and treat yourself to a full bar bites menu, robust wine list, or a craft cocktail. While food and beverages are always important, the real draw of Jazzy Jam is the music.
Hotel Monteleone’s Jazzy Jam music series will feature “New Orleans Songbird” Robin Barnes, named “Favorite New Orleans Musician” by New Orleans Magazine.
We’ve hand-selected our favorite local performers to play Wednesdays through Sundays, April 26-May 7, 2017.
The Jazzy Jam free concert series features many of New Orleans’ most popular entertainers, including our very own “New Orleans Songbird” Robin Barnes, who was named a “Favorite New Orleans Musician” by New Orleans Magazine. Performers include Lena Prima, daughter of legendary musician Louis Prima, and Nayo Jones, whose stage presence is electric and sure to inspire a bit of late-night reveling. We’ll also be joined by Antoine Diel, who will perform alongside his traditional jazz band.
