One of the best music fests each year occurs during the last week of April and the first week of May in New Orleans as the Fairgrounds there transform from Horse track to music venue. Six very large tents allow multiple musicians to play simultaneously. Your choice could be gospel, rock, soul, trop rock or maybe a little zydeco. To celebrate this event we selected some of the artists who have played there throughout the years. Hope you enjoy our celebration. Tune in Wednesday at 7pm to follow the party.
