New Orleans is bursting with so many live music venues that there are too many to name. Still, some of the most popular include Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro and The Spotted Cat Music Club on the famed Frenchmen street, plus Tipitina’s – inspired by the song “Tipitina” by Professor Longhair, who played at the venue until his passing.
Start your day at Buck and Johnny’s in Breaux Bridge and dance to live music after you’ve devoured their famous Saturday Zydeco Breakfast.
