Where to Hear Music

French Quarter: Constant street performers and intimate clubs; great for spontaneous discovery.
Tremé & Louis Armstrong Park: Anchors of New Orleans' African American musical heritage.
Warehouse/Arts District: Larger venues and evening concert options.

How to find authentic shows

Check venue schedules ahead of time, but also leave room for impromptu street and bar performances.
Seek smaller, early-evening sets for a more local atmosphere and often lower cover charges.

Etiquette & tips

Tip performers when appropriate and ask before recording paid shows.
Support local musicians by buying CDs or merchandise when available.
