NATIONAL LEARN ABOUT BUTTERFLIES DAY
On March 14th, National Learn About Butterflies Day encourages us to look for a blur of color as butterflies begin migrating across the country. Each year the celebration brings with it an awareness of the varieties of butterflies and their importance to our survival. Spring and summer are just right around the corner, so it is an excellent time to take a few minutes and learn something new about butterflies and appreciate their beauty.
Like bees, bats and other pollinators, butterflies make the difference between valuable fruits and vegetables on our tables. While we’re planting native flowers and trees, we’re also providing for our future. Pollinators such as the monarch butterfly and the honey bee have been in decline. All the reasons have not been identified. However, increasing the available habitat does help!
Butterflies need our help to survive as they rely on flowers and other natural sources for survival. We can help them by planting more flowers.
- There are more than 20,000 types of butterflies worldwide.
- Their wingspans can range from 1/2 inch to 11 inches.
- Butterflies in their adult stage can live from a week to nearly a year, depending on the species.
- Many butterflies migrate over long distances. Particularly famous migrations are those of the Monarch butterfly from Mexico to the northern USA and southern Canada, a distance of about 2500 to 3000 miles.

NATIONAL NAPPING DAY
Each year, National Napping Day recognizes our need the day following the return of daylight saving time. Not only does the observance encourage a nap, it reminds us that there’s no shame in taking one either. While preparing for the time change can offset the shock to our internal clock, many other things in our life may not handle the change so well causing us to still lose sleep. Young children and pets do not adjust as easily and certain work schedules do not permit early adjustment, either.
Mid-afternoon naps are an integral part of most cultures, and scientifically proven to be good for you.
A needed rest can make you feel better and also improve your mood. After having the extra amount of sleep, a person will notice that they will be more productive and energetic. Numerous studies have shown that short 10-20 minute naps are the most effective when midday fatigue hits. Improvements in alertness, productivity, and mood have all been shown to improve with this type of snooze.
Though there are some of us who are just not the napping kind, if you can reap those benefits, find a cozy spot for 10 minutes or so on National Napping Day.

Operations, hiring underway at redeveloped
Avondale Shipyard
The company redeveloping the former Avondale Shipyard into a global logistics hub says it has begun operations, more than three years after it purchased the Jefferson Parish property that once served as Louisiana’s largest employer.

Avondale Marine LLC, a partnership between Virginia-based T. Parker Host Inc. and Illinois-based Hildo Redevelopment Partners, bought the 254-site in October 2018 from Huntington Ingalls Industries, which put it on the market in 2015.
The companies had expected to open the facility in 2021. Kimberly Roybal, marketing associate with T. Parker Host, said delays were caused by an unprecedented high river event, the global pandemic and Hurricane Ida.
“We have restored multiple docks, reconnected the site to rail, established a foreign trade zone and handle a variety of cargo from around the world daily,” Roybal said.
The site, located on the Mississippi River and near six Class I rail carriers, will connect global waterborne commerce with manufacturing, fabrication and distribution facilities and is expected to accommodate new opportunities for large-scale manufacturers in Louisiana. Over $100 million has been invested in the facility since its purchase, officials said.
They still expect the site will produce 2,000 jobs when it is fully operational, but that appears to be years away. Avondale Marine is currently hiring for 25 positions as it transitions from converting the facility to building a team to operate it, Roybal said. The company’s Twitter account on Feb. 23 said it was hiring for crane, dozer and forklift operators.
Its first major tenant has not yet been announced, but Roybal said the facility currently serves a global marketplace.
It handles a variety of cargo that arrives from ships, barges, rail and trucks before it is discharged to its next destination. There is also 1.5 million square feet of convertible warehouse or manufacturing space, according to the company’s website.
With the help of $10 million in federal funds, Avondale has restored its first dock, returned all cranes to service, reconnected the facility to rail, established a foreign trade zone and received all permits to operate.
“Functionally obsolete structures were removed and others were retrofitted to be placed back into commerce,” Roybal said. “The levee on the site has been strengthened by the Corps, and levee district with an additional crossing installed to support cargo moving to and from the docks.”
A formal reopening is expected later this year. In the meantime, she said the Avondale Marine team has been busy handling multiple types of cargo from around the world – including bulk cargo, such as sugar and high-grade alloys from eastern Europe. The company on March 1 posted photos of alumina, a material used in spark plugs and cutting tools, arriving at Avondale to be discharged by its team for its next destination.
Jerry Bologna, president and CEO of JEDCO, said the organization has been working with Avondale Marine on the redevelopment of the former shipyard, which closed in 2014 after Huntington Ingalls consolidated operations.
“While many companies have been faced with expansion-related delays due to supply-chain and COVID, Avondale Marine has taken this time to do exactly what they have committed from the beginning,” Bologna said. “Namely, they have taken this opportunity to make the necessary investments in infrastructure that will lead to their long-term success.”
JEDCO “is fielding a number of prospects with interest in and around the site and we are excited about these prospects,” Bologna added. “Avondale Marine has been a great partner in trying to attract jobs and investment into Jefferson Parish, and we are proud to be working with a committed entity.”

Tony Chachere’s
creole seasoning
celebrates 50 years
Tony Chachere’s Famous Creole Cuisine is celebrating its golden anniversary, marking 50 years since the launch of one of Louisiana’s most recognizable food brands.
Based in Opelousas, Tony Chachere’s began as a retirement hobby for the brand’s namesake, Tony Chachere.
Chachere was known as a hunter and fisherman around Opelousas, and he had a lifelong dream of writing a cookbook of Creole recipes. When the 65-year-old retired for the second time in 1972, he finally realized his dream, writing the famous Cajun Country Cookbook. Chachere originally sold the book out of his station wagon.
“What started as my great-grandfather’s life-long dream has now become a devoted mission for four generations of the Chachere family,” said Celeste Chachere, director of marketing for Tony Chachere’s, in a news release. “Making the flavors of his beloved Cajun and Creole cuisine accessible to the world beyond Louisiana is what Mr. Tony was most passionate about, and we are continually looking for new ways to bring more flavor to every meal people eat, just as he always dreamed.”
Considered to be an “Ole Master” of Creole cooking, Tony Chachere included in his cookbook a recipe for his homemade seasoning. When people began asking where they could buy the spice mix, Tony Chachere’s Famous Creole Cuisine began to form.
Tony Chachere partially retired again in 1981 at the age of 76, but he continued to toy with his recipes and create new products for the brand. His seasoning has been used in cookbooks across the world, in cooking contests and movies, the company said in a release.
In 1995, Tony Chachere was the first person to be inducted into the Louisiana Chefs Hall of Fame. He died a week later, three months short of his 90th birthday.
The nationally known brand is still family-owned and operated. Tony’s grandson, Don, now leads the company, which operates out of a 150,000-square-foot facility with more than 100 full-time employees.
As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, Tony Chachere’s is selling commemorative cans of the Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning. The can can be ordered at www.tonychachere.com.

State lawmakers convene on Monday. Expect Republicans to challenge Gov. John Bel Edwards
At Legislature: Budget, culture wars, redistricting rehash
Louisiana’s Legislature opens its 2022 regular session Monday with a welcome dilemma: how best to spend an influx of money the likes of which the state hasn’t seen in years, while again debating familiar “culture war” issues involving transgender athletes, race, vaccine mandates and abortion.
The Republican-dominated Legislature also will be faced with unresolved business from the February special session on redistricting of government district boundary lines, thanks to a veto of a new congressional map by Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards. There also are expected to be moves by some to change state House and Senate maps that survived Edwards’ veto pen.
THE BUDGET
After facing years of tight budgets, this year, lawmakers will debate how best to spend higher tax revenues and an influx of more than $2.8 billion in one-time revenue — $1.4 billion from federal pandemic aid, $700 million of surplus from the 2021 fiscal year and $853 million higher-than-planned revenue for the current year.
Among the ways Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards has proposed spending expected recurring tax revenue: $148 million for pay raises for Louisiana teachers and school support staff; $103 million in higher education faculty raises and $25 million more on early childhood education.
His suggestions for the nonrecurring revenue include earmarking $500 million toward the cost of a new Mississippi River bridge at Baton Rouge, $100 million toward a new Interstate 10 bridge at Lake Charles, $100 million for work on Interstate 49 and $25 million for rail transportation between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
Edwards’ top fiscal officer, Jay Dardenne, outlined the governor’s proposals to lawmakers in January, acknowledging that lawmakers will want changes.
“Certainly, when you have money like this, which this Legislature, this governor have not had in a long time, there obviously are going to be lots of hands out, lots of demands and lots of suggestions on what priorities ought to be,” Dardenne said.
The Baton Rouge bridge, is a long-hoped-for project for Baton Rouge residents and anyone who travels through area at high-traffic times.
But approval of putting $500 million toward such a bridge is far from a slam dunk. The administration argues that dedicating the money now would help secure more public and private financing later. House and Senate leaders have questioned whether it’s the best way to spend the money.
“It’s hard to park a half billion dollars in excess money that may sit there for 10 or 15 years,” Senate President Page Cortez said in a webinar by the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana.
And while Edwards stressed that his budget proposal calls for recurring costs — like his proposed increase in teacher pay — are to be paid for with revenue that is forecast to be available annually, lawmakers will have to consider factors that could reduce coming years’ revenue. A .45% state sales tax enacted in 2018 to balance the budget expires in mid-2025, cutting annual tax collections by hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
GOVERNMENT REDISTRICTING
Lawmakers met in special session in February to redraw district boundary lines for Congress, the state House and Senate and other government bodies. But Edwards vetoed the congressional plan, saying that, in a state where almost a third of the population is Black, lawmakers should include a second majority-Black district among the six Congressional districts.
The Republican-dominated Legislature could pass the same plan again — a bill to do so has been filed. Or they could interrupt regular session business to try to muster the two-thirds vote needed in each chamber to override Edwards’ veto. Ideally, the state will have a plan in place before qualifying for congressional races begins July 20.
Meanwhile, some lawmakers are unhappy that Edwards didn’t veto state House and Senate maps that don’t include majority-minority districts. There will likely be attempts to pass new plans to supplant the ones passed during the special session.
PANDEMIC ISSUES
Some conservative lawmakers chafed at restrictions Edwards imposed on public gatherings in the early days of the pandemic, and also leveled criticism at New Orleans officials who imposed proof-of-vaccine or negative test requirements for entry into bars or restaurants. Even with the decline in cases and the lifting of restrictions, the issue remains alive.
Bills dealing with the issue include one prohibiting local governments from requiring proof of vaccination as a condition for participating in any “constitutionally protected activity.”
LGBT ISSUES
Last year, Edwards vetoed a bill a banning transgender athletes from competing on school sports teams of their identified gender. The bill has been reintroduced for this year’s session.
Advocates for LGBT people will again push to expand law prohibiting discrimination in housing to cover sexual orientation and gender identity.
ABORTION
Louisiana already has a 15-week abortion ban on the books, along with a total abortion ban that would take effect were the Supreme Court to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that upheld abortion rights. Lawmakers in the new session have offered bills to ban abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected (experts say that is about six weeks into a pregnancy).
Another anti-abortion bill prohibits the sale of abortion-inducing drugs without a prescription and creates the crime of “induced chemical abortion.”
GUNS
Another bill vetoed by Edwards last year would have allowed the carrying of concealed handguns without needing a permit, safety training and background check. The bill is back for the 2022 session.
For proponents of stronger gun laws, there is a proposal to let more than a dozen south Louisiana parishes, including Orleans and surrounding parishes in the southeast and Calcasieu in the southwest, to enact gun laws that are more restrictive than the state, something no locality can currently do.
RACE MATTERS
A bill spelling out educational requirements for public schools requires instruction on Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech and forbids teaching that one race is inherently superior to others. It will likely spark debate with language that also forbids instruction that any sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin is “advantaged, disadvantaged, privileged, underprivileged, biased, or oppressed relative to another.”

NATIONAL POTATO CHIP DAY
National Potato Chip Day on March 14th celebrates America’s #1 snack food. Millions will enjoy their favorite chip this holiday. It’s a good thing there are so many to choose from, too!
Saratoga Chips
On August 24, 1853, an unhappy restaurant customer kept sending his potatoes back to the kitchen, complaining they were thick and soggy. Chef George Crum decided to slice the potatoes as thin as possible, frying them until crisp and adding extra salt. To the chef’s surprise, the customer loved them. The crispy potatoes soon became a regular item on the restaurant’s menu under the name of “Saratoga Chips.”
Other explanations point for the existence of the potato chip point to recipes in Shilling Cookery for the People by Alexis Soyer (1845) or Mary Randolph’s The Virginia House-Wife (1824). While many references between these dates sliced potatoes and fried them in grease, uncertainty remains whether the potatoes were fried to a crisp.
However, by the late 1870s, menus across the country used the term “Saratoga Chips” on train cars, hotel restaurants, and street carts. The name carried into grocers when bakeries made the chips in larger batches. They shipped them by wagon to the restaurants and grocers by the barrel. The grocers sold them to private families by the pound. Folks were instructed to bake the chips in a hot oven for a few minutes, and the chips would be as crisp as if fried that same day.
Classic Potato Chips
The Dayton, Ohio-based Mike-sell’s Potato Chip Company, founded in 1910, calls itself the “oldest potato chip company in the United States.” New England-based Tri-Sum Potato Chips, originally established in 1908 as the Leominster Potato Chip Company, in Leominster, Massachusetts, claims to be America’s first potato chip manufacturer.
In the 20th century, potato chips spread beyond chef-cooked restaurant fare and began to be mass-produced for home consumption. Flavored chips were introduced in the 1950s. Potato Chip revenues are over $15 billion a year worldwide!

NATIONAL PI DAY
National Pi Day on March 14th recognizes the mathematical constant π. Also known as pi, the first three and most recognized digits are 3.14. The day is celebrated by pi enthusiasts and pie lovers alike!
Pi is the ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. While the idea of pi has been known for nearly 4000 years, accurately calculating it has been something of slightly more recent mathematical development. By 2000 BC, the Egyptians and Babylonians accurately used the constant to build. Mathematicians such as Archimedes, Fibonacci, François Viète, Adriaan van Roomen, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz all calculated pi by various methods. However, in 1706, Welsh mathematician William Jones introduced the Greek letter π to represent the ratio of a circle’s circumference; pi.

About the Exhibition
You can feel it coming. A marching band cadence echoes from a mile away. Pounding drums and bright feathers flare from the Mardi Gras Indians just up the block. Months of painstaking glittering, marching, beadwork, and brushstrokes have led up to this moment, and you are ready to burst into the street. It’s Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
On January 6, 2022, The Historic New Orleans Collection’s Making Mardi Gras exhibition rambles its way into the museum's French Quarter galleries. This showstopping display invites visitors into the sprawling dens, late-night sewing sessions, and sweaty dance rehearsals where “The Greatest Free Show on Earth” is created and re-created each year among the city’s diverse communities. Explore the vibrant expression that only Carnival season can muster, as we meet up with 19th-century float artists, dawn-breaking skeleton gangs, and homebound house-float creators—stopping to admire costumes, royalty, and hand-painted coconuts.
This is the Mardi Gras that happens before we're watching, the Carnival that will wind through the city on Fat Tuesday, far from the intemperate Bourbon Street scene. Catch it before it passes.
This exhibition is generously sponsored by Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World and Kern Studios.

The Louisiana State Museum is preparing a major exhibition to open in the Presbytère Museum on February 1, 2022, commemorating the milestone 150th anniversary of the Rex Organization, the foremost New Orleans Mardi Gras krewe. Since its founding in 1872, Rex has taken on an unparalleled leadership role in Carnival, setting the standard of excellence for the dozens of krewes formed since and even inspiring the formation of similar civic organizations in other states. The Rex parade was the first daytime parade in modern Carnival, and the man selected as the monarch of the organization, known also by its incorporated name, the School of Design, serves as the King of all New Orleans Carnival.
The exhibition will tell the story of Rex using the Louisiana State Museum’s unrivaled collection of artifacts, heavily focusing on the sophisticated costumes of the krewe’s kings, queens, and courtiers. The Museum has always prioritized preserving the artifacts of Rex and made a concerted effort beginning in the 1920s to gather costumes directly from krewe members. This collection now totals over 60 royalty and krewe costumes and gowns as well as dozens of sets of rare crown jewels. The exhibition will also feature newly discovered treasures from the krewe’s past, recently acquired from European collections, along with rarely seen artifacts borrowed from private and institutional collections.
The exhibition will also discuss the vital civic function that the krewe has always performed since it was founded in part to boost economic development in the city during the tumultuous years of Reconstruction following the Civil War. After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, Rex assumed a crucial philanthropic mission through its Pro Bono Publico Foundation, to date funneling over $10 million to the New Orleans Public School system through the contributions of the krewe’s members. Numerous kings and queens of the krewe have been honored by municipal and humanitarian organizations for their broad-ranging support of essential community causes.
An exciting feature of the exhibition will be a float built inside the Museum by the krewe’s float builder, Royal Artists, demonstrating the techniques and materials used to construct the elaborate historically-inspired floats for Rex. Rare vintage films of Rex parades of decades ago will bring the spectacle to life, and lively time-lapse video showing the float-building process will shine a spotlight on the creativity and skill that go into crafting these rolling tableaux.
A host of complementary educational programs and lectures are being planned, including hands-on activity days for families as well as sensory-friendly programs for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities.

LE PETIT THEATRE OPENS SPRING 2022 SEASON WITH MARCUS GARDLEY’S OBIE AWARD-WINNING STAGE PLAY, “THE HOUSE THAT WILL NOT STAND”
Termed “Sensuous, witty, heartbreaking, and uplifting” by the critics, The House That Will Not Stand, Marcus Gardley’s 2019 Obie Award-winning stage production about free women of color in early 19th century New Orleans, opens its three-weekend run at Le Petit Theatre on Friday, March 4.
The play’s story line involves a Black Creole woman named Beartrice and her three unwed daughters and an old New Orleans custom of rich white men entering into common-law marriages with young women of color. But the house that Beartrice built - on a foundation of wealth, freedom and secrets - threatens to collapse after her man mysteriously dies and her daughters realize that his money could cost them the people they love. The House That Will Not Stand is a humorous and gripping family drama told in a rich and lyrical river of words.
The show is directed by abigail jean-baptiste who recently served as assistant director of Broadway’s Jagged Little Pill. Born in New York City with family roots in Haiti and the American South, her work intersects with critical race theory and reimagines understandings of the past. She was directed shows in New York and elsewhere in the U.S. and has won a number of prestigious awards.
Staged in conjunction with National Women’s Month, the all-woman cast features Big Easy Award-winning actor Troi Bechet in the lead role of Beartrice. Portraying one of her daughters is veteran actor/director and multiple award-winner, Tommye Myrick, who returns to the stage following her critically acclaimed direction of FLY in February.
Other cast members include Tameka Bob, Grace Gibson, Jarrell Hamilton, Elexis Selmon, Laurita Marie and Eden James.
The design team includes Jungah Han (Scenic), Darolyn (Costumes), Itohan Edoloyi (Lighting), Ghazi Gamali (Sound).
Twelve performances of The House That Will Not Stand will be staged over a three-week run from March 4-6, March 10-14 and March 17-20.
Season subscriptions are available, offering 20-40% off single ticket prices and single tickets range from $35-$70 ($15 for students and 50% off for military personnel). Order online at www.lepetittheatre.com or by calling 504-522-2081.
Le Petit Theatre is located at 616 St. Peter Street in the heart of the French Quarter.

LIVE MUSIC FROM THE BRASS-A-HOLICS at the Jazz Playhouse
Since 2010, the Brass-A-Holics have been taking their unique sound around the world. Steeped in the deep musical culture of New Orleans, the band brings a heavy dose of go-go funk to the New Orleans brass sound. In a blending of musical cultures stemming from cities separated by more than a thousand miles, a Brass-a-Holics live show takes the New Orleans brass band culture and infuses it with the electricity of Washington D.C.'s go-go. The resulting sound is both captivating and unique.
*Preferred Seating for small parties only. Parties of 8 or more people must inquire via email to cwhitney@sonesta.com to reserve.*
**Special Event valet rate - $5/vehicle. Please provide ticket to event staff for validation. Garage entryways located on both the Bienville and Conti sides of the hotel.

The beloved ogre fairy tale comes to life in this colorful, Tony Award-winning production based on the hit movie.
"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.

Friday, March 18, New Orleanians will have more than 25 more choices for Fish Fry Fridays The Fish Fry Fridays campaign, which began in 2020, will serve as a fundraising event to benefit Hospitality Cares a partnership between Louisiana Hospitality Foundation and United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA). Participating restaurants will donate $1 per fish fry entrée sold each week through April 15.
“We are so excited to be able to bring this fundraiser back for a third year,” said Jennifer Kelley, Louisiana Hospitality Foundation Executive Director. “This community is there for each other through more ways than just financial support—it’s the comradery and friendships that sustain us through hard times, but this event has been a winner all around. I’d like to thank our sponsors, restaurants owners and chefs, and our patrons for coming together for our community.”
Hospitality Cares is a crisis grant program offering varying resources, including emergency financial assistance to individuals working in the hospitality industry – one of the region’s largest employment sectors. The emergency grants award up to $2,500 to eligible employees at hospitality businesses running active United Way workplace campaigns in Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington parishes. The funds provide temporary assistance during times of crisis to cover basic financial needs, including housing, medical and utility bills.
The Fish Fry Fridays campaign was initially launched during Lent 2020 to help hospitality workers who were laid off during the pandemic. It raised over $12,000 from restaurant sales and a sponsorship from TABASCO®, who also sponsored the campaign in 2021 and will again sponsor it in 2022. They are joined by New Orleans Fish House who will offer discounts to participating restaurants for their seafood features.
“This campaign has not only benefited the seafood industry, but it is giving an economic boost to our restaurant industry and provides New Orleanians with a sense of normalcy,” said Phil DeGruy, New Orleans Fish House sales manager. “We are proud to be a part of helping to strengthen the hospitality industry.”

The AFNO wanted to celebrate the Louisiana Francophonie by inviting French speakers and non French speakers of New Orleans to take the floor and encourage them to create a dialogue between words of the French language and their cultures. This festival will be shaped by collaborative activities open to all, workshops for children and adults, and even a concert with Bruce "Sunpie" Barnes and other artistic surprises!
We are very proud to announce our participation in the international Caravane des dix mots (Caravane of Ten Words) project to promote, in partnership with Nous Foundation, the voices of Louisiana in the French-speaking world. The Caravane des dix mots invites French speakers from all over the world to take the French language and give their definitions of 10 chosen words, definitions that depend on one's experience, history or even the other languages one speaks! This project is shared with French speakers from Quebec, Benin, Burundi, Egypt, Togo, China and even Belgium and Romania, who will also give their definitions of divulgâcher, décalé, ébaubi, époustouflant, farcer, kaï, méduser, pince-moi, saperlipopette et tintamarre.

Dew Drop Inn Announces Spring Concert Series
In Mandeville
|
The historic Dew Drop Jazz & Social Hall in Mandeville, built in 1895, is back this spring with a full season of concerts presenting traditional jazz and blues, funky swamp pop and Cajun music—with a few surprises along the way. For the six Saturday night evening concerts a variety of genres will be showcased by some of the region’s most notable musicians.
March 5 | Dr. Redwine’s Grape Stompers, led by acclaimed clarinetist Ben Redwine, will make their Dew Drop debut with a tribute to famed New Orleans clarinetist Barney Bigard, who toured for years with Louis Armstrong. Redwine and his band will recreate the music of the Dew Drop’s heyday and will be joined by several swing dancers who will kick off the season in a unique and joyful way.
March 19 | Jazz vocalist Ingrid Lucia and her all-star band will present a special evening of vintage jazz and blues, with music from the 1920s and 30s, along with new, original tunes. Lucia’s voice takes listeners back to a bygone era, while her distinct phrasing notes a more classic jazz ambience that is both appealing & enthusiastic.
April 2 | Camile Baudoin & Friends, reliving a few Radiators classics and new music too with celebrated musicians Reggie Scanlan, Frank Bua & John Fohl all together on one stage making this special concert one to remember for a long, long time!
April 16 | Gregg Stafford & His Jazz Hounds, led by renowned Preservation Hall musician and educator Gregg Stafford, will present a night deeply steeped in traditional New Orleans jazz.
May 14 | The unique jazz folk stylings define Sarah Quintana & Friends. A singer-songwriter from New Orleans with a background rich in jazz, folk and popular music, Quintana is a devoted guitarist with a voice that is instantly recognizable. Her versatility has led her from singing on the streets of Provence with a traveling circus to the stages of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and even New York’s Lincoln Center with a swing band.
May 21 | Two unique bands will perform one set each, starting with Doucet Frères, featuring the famed brother duo of Michael and David Doucet, of the Grammy-Award winning Cajun band, BeauSoleil. The Doucet family name is known for making Cajun music a popular genre within the world music scene. The second set will showcase Michael Doucet’s new Cajun dance band, Lâcher Prise Trio, with Doucet on fiddle, and both Sarah Quintana and Chad Viator on guitar. The name Lâcher Prise means to “let go” and blends Cajun, swamp soul, and Gypsy tunes that celebrate love and the simple joys of having a good time.
Presented by the Friends of the Dew Drop, these six Saturday evening concerts will run from 6:30 to 9:00p.m. and will feature home-cooked food for purchase provided by the Ladies of First Free Mission Baptist Church, located next door. Soft drinks, water, beer and wine will be available for purchase. Admission for each concert is $10 cash per adult. Students and children may attend free of charge. No outside food, drinks or pets are allowed and lawn chairs may be used outside the hall on the grounds.
The history of the Dew Drop Inn begins in 1885 when a group of civic-minded African American residents of the Mandeville, led by the late Olivia Eunio, created the Dew Drop Social and Benevolent Association. A decade later, in 1895, the organization laid a cornerstone and constructed a small wooden building two and one-half blocks from Lake Pontchartrain on Lamarque Street.
The Association, like many created among African American residents following the Civil War, had chiefly benevolent goals—to care for the sick, provide help with funeral arrangements, food & temporary housing—all during a time when Black residents could not obtain various types of insurance. Today, known as one of the oldest, unaltered rural jazz halls in the U.S. the not-for-profit organization, Friends of the Dew Drop, schedules and manages the hall’s performances and educational activities.

The talented and dedicated Wendell credits some of his early development to having worked with the Olympia Brass Band under the direction of his cousin, bandleader/saxophonist Harold Dejan. Extremely knowledgeable in the music’s tradition and history, Brunious enjoys sprinkling his conversation with advisory quotes from his father and other artists who have crossed his musical path through his decades-long career.
