The 9th Annual Jamie Galloway Crawfish Boil & Block Party
Every year, the legendary Maple Leaf Bar and Dave Jordan host a crawfish boil fundraiser celebrating the life of beloved musician and chef, Jamie Galloway, to benefit the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic.
The event has grown in popularity over the years, to an all-out block party featuring two stages, over 50 of NOLA’s finest musicians, and thousands of pounds of crawfish and all the fixings boiled by crews of Seither’s Seafood and Clesi’s Restaurant and Catering. The success of the Jamie Galloway Crawfish Boil grows each year thanks to supporters near and far. It’s been called “The most anticipated event before Jazz Fest.”
The 9th annual event takes place on Sunday, March 26th!

About Jamie Galloway
James ‘Jamie’ Galloway III, a beloved Oak Street musician and chef, was 41 when he passed away in 2012. Originally from Alexandria, Galloway made his life in New Orleans providing his friends and fans with two staples of assured happiness: good food and good music. A fiber in the fabric of the local music scene for over two decades, Jamie played alongside Dave Jordan, festival music director, in the band Juice, providing harmonica, percussion and vocals. In addition to live music, the festival honors Jamie’s love of shared food via its tasty crawfish boil. As was Jamie, the New Orleans Musicians Clinic is an integral part of the city’s music culture, so it is fitting that through this event they are forever linked.
