Our friends at the New Orleans Jazz Museum have released their roster of January livestreams. Below you will find a list of various performances that you can stream via Facebook.

JULIE ODELL, 2-3 p.m. on JANUARY 8 Note: This on Friday, as a part of the Museum’s Quarantunes series. 

New Orleans singer-songwriter Julie Odell weaves her visions of folk, poetry and colorful melodies into a warm and brilliant tapestry. Odell began writing and performing while growing up in Ruston, Louisiana, where she learned to write on an old upright piano. She later moved to New Orleans, where she carved out a space for her songwriting and performance within the city’s thriving arts communities and evolved her sound into a dynamic force of nature as a bandleader. She was recently voted Best New Artist in Gambit’s Big Easy Awards and plans to release a full length record in Spring 2021.

 

HERLIN RILEY, 2-3 p.m. on JANUARY 12

Since coming of age in nurturing environment of a very musical family and a distinguished bloodline of drummers, New Orleans native Herlin Riley emerged from that most creative era of all things rhythmic in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, to enliven the ensembles of such influential and demanding improvisers as pianist Ahmad Jamal and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis through his commanding yet elegant rhythmic presence. is authoritative style of melodic percussion is deeply imbued in the fertile creative soil of the Crescent City, encompassing as it does the entire length and breadth of America’s ongoing musical journey.

Guests are invited to enjoy these events from home on facebook.com/nolajazzmuseum/live. The livestreams are free and open to the public.
