The Weekly Stream: New Orleans Concerts, September 16-23

The Weekly Stream: New Orleans online concerts, March 20-26

As music venues and musicians across New Orleans adapt themselves to the drastic changes brought on by the ongoing novel coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, many are providing music fans with online and live streams of performances. Below is an ongoing, repeatedly updated list of performances happening. We also have a similar list in the works, organized by venue.

Please bear with us as we continue working to keep readers informed of where, when and how they can “attend” these events. Some musicians are offering weekly appearances, so make sure to take note!

To add your upcoming “gig” to the calendar, please send an email to [email protected] with the following:
