The weekend kicks off with “A Salute to New Orleans Music Legends,” a stand-alone evening concert on Friday, Sept. 6, on the outdoor Who Dat Stage starting at 6 p.m.
Billed as a celebration of the music of Fats Domino, Dave Bartholomew, Dr. John, Art Neville and Allen Toussaint, the line-up includes Irma Thomas, Deacon John, John “Papa” Gros, Renard Poche, Lenny Green and other musicians who performed with the late legends. Admission is free for this Friday night event and donations are requested for the NOMC.
On Saturday, Sept. 7., scheduled performers include the Family Stone featuring founding Sly & the Family Stone saxophonist Jerry Martini, the Producers, Louis Prima Jr. & the Witnesses, the Topcats, the Lost Bayou Ramblers and Michael O’Hara.
