It's no secret that New Orleans is missing
its music. In the face of COVID-19, venues and entertainers have had to come up
with creative solutions that promote safety, as well as the music culture so near
and dear to the city. Here are five music events happening this week.
Drive-In Concert With The Revivalists
For those who were upset when they missed the
Revivalists at Jazz Fest, you can join the hometown heroes this Friday, July 24,
from 6 - 8 p.m. at the Lakefront Arena for some great music and a chance to
hear it live. Lakefront Arena, 6801 Franklin Ave., thenoladrivein.com
Walter Wolfman Washington Live From The New
Orleans Jazz Museum
Gear up to virtually attend this week's Jazz
Museum's Balcony Livestream Concert series, featuring Walter Wolfman
Washington. Tune in this week on Tuesday, July 21, from 5 - 6 p.m., to see the
New Orleans icon perform while you finally get to listen to some live jazz.
