Two Coco Robicheaux Memorials Scheduled

Considering the affection people had for Coco Robicheaux, it’s no surprise that there is not one but two events planned to remember the late bluesman who died Friday night. A service is scheduled for 5 p.m. Saturday at Marie’s Bar (2483 Burgundy St.) that will be followed by a second line to the Apple Barrel.

On Monday, December 12, a procession will start on Frenchmen Street at 3:30 p.m. and work its way through the French Quarter to House of Blues, where there will be a night of music in his memory starting at 6 p.m.

We have yet to hear anything about his burial, but we’ll update this when we know more.
