AMERICAN ROUTES LIVE! 4TH OF JULY: CELEBRATING MUSICAL GEOGRAPHIES OF THE GULF SOUTH
This Independence Day, we’ll celebrate music of New Orleans, Mississippi & French Louisiana. Recorded live at New Orleans’ Civic Theatre, we’ll be joined by New Orleans clarinetist Dr. Michael White and the Original Liberty Jazz Band; fellow NEA Heritage recipient and Cajun fiddler Michael Doucet with his band BeauSoleil; the downhome blues of McComb, Mississippi’s Little Freddie King; and the spirit-filled gospel of Electrifying Crown Seekers from New Orleans’ West Bank. Our special guest is beloved jazz vocalist Topsy Chapman. Join us for a holiday edition of the new American Routes Live series.
