Just as the Wednesdays at the Square winds down it’s Spring concert series in the Central Business District, the fifth incarnation of the concert series on Algiers Point announced its 2-month schedule.
When the series, which is designed to attract business to the West Bank neighborhood, first began, the location of each concert moved around the neighborhood. But for the second year in a row, all of the concerts will be in one location—200 Morgan Street at the foot of the ferry landing.
All of the performances start at 6 PM except the special July 4 concert, which begins at 5 PM and features three bands. Here’s the schedule:
June 6: Wild Magnolias Mardi Gras Indians and the Lagniappe Brass Band
June 13: Latin Night with Son Como Son and Ritmo Calypso
June 20: Big Daddy ‘O’ Revue and Blues4Sale
June 27: Sunpie Barnes & the Louisiana Sunspots and August Rush
July 4: Johnny Sketch & the Dirty Notes and Zena Moses with Rue Fiya All-Stars and the Brent Walsh Jazz Trio (5-9 p.m.)
July 11: George Porter Jr. & the Runnin’ Pardners and Sound Man Presents
July 18: The Brass-A-Holics and Melomania
July 25: Amanda Shaw (pictured) & the Cute Guys and St. Cecilia’s Asylum Chorus
