We’re featuring 3 incredible New Orleans bands over 2 days—and this year’s lineup is something special: Wolfe Johns Straight from the streets of New Orleans, Wolfe Johns kept live music alive during the pandemic with daily performances in the French Quarter. Now performing on stages across the country, he brings a powerful mix of blues, R&B, jazz, and soul, putting his own spin on classics from legends like John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and more—along with high-energy original music. Zita This dynamic four-piece band blends classic rock, funk, and blues into a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh. With a live show that channels the energy of 70s rock and the soul of New Orleans, Zita delivers a performance you won’t forget. Since their debut album in 2021, they’ve been lighting up stages across the Southeast and continue to evolve their signature sound. Get ready for a weekend full of music, energy, and New Orleans vibes—all for a great cause.
