My Jazz Fest Friday

 

Here’s what I hope to see:

High Ground Drifters – 11:15 a.m. Fais Do-Do Stage

The Vettes – 11:30 a.m. Gentilly Stage

Como Now – noon – Gospel Tent

Lost Bayou Ramblers – 12:20 p.m – Fais Do-Do Stage

Spencer Bohren – 12:20 p.m. – Blues Tent

David Egan – 12:35 p.m. – Acura Stage

DJ Hektik/Freedia and Nobby – 1:35 p.m. – Congo Square

Christian Serpas and Ghost Town – 1:50 p.m. – Lagniappe Stage

– a good time to eat & take a break, though I’ll probably look in on Marc Broussard and/or Amanda Shaw

 Henry Butler – 2:55 p.m. – Congo Square

MyNameIsJohnMichael – 3:05 p.m. – Lagniappe Stage

New Orleans Nightcrawlers – 3:15 p.m. – Jazz & Heritage Stage

Drive-By Truckers with Booker T. – 3:35 p.m. – Acura Stage

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Ave. – 3:45 p.m. – Gentilly Stage

Warren Storm, Willie Tee and Cypress with Tommy McLain and T.K. Hulin – 4:20 p.m. – Fais Do-Do Stage

– I’d like to think I’ll look in on Wynton Marsalis’ “Congo Square” at 4:40 at Congo Square, but realistically, there’s too much else going on, and I know I won’t commit almost 2 1/2 hours of Jazz Fest to the piece.

Spoon – 5:30 p.m – Gentilly Stage

Gringo do Choro – 6 p.m. – Lagniappe Stage

Will I see all of that? I doubt it, but that’s the tentative plan. Everything could change once I’m on the ground and/or hear something cool.
