Calling All Guardians of the Groove! Join WWOZ-FM as they second line from their home of the last 17 years in the French Market Building (1008 N. Peters St.) to their new home at Jax Brewery (600 Decatur St.) on Tuesday, November 28 starting at 10:30am! The celebratory event will begin with the removal of the iconic WWOZ sign hanging outside the door on N. Peters. The second line will start lining up at 10:15am and leave promptly at 10:45am. The public is welcome and encouraged to join them along the route straight up N. Peters to Decatur St., past Jackson Square, directly to the Jax building.

“This is going to be a fun and festive way for us to get into our new space,” said WWOZ’s General Manager, Beth Arroyo Utterback. “We’re excited for what’s to come for us at Jax and are thrilled that so many of New Orleans’ musicians and culture bearers will be there to lead WWOZ in this celebratory second line parade.”

The second line will be led by a number of legendary New Orleans musicians including James Andrews & the Crescent City All-Stars, Treme Brass Band, Cyril Neville, John Boutte, Kermit Ruffins, Amanda Shaw, Charmaine Neville, Little Freddie King, Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes, Shamarr Allen, and more! They are also expecting members from the Black Masking Indian community join us, as well as Baby Dolls and members of various social aid & pleasure clubs.

This second line will also feature WWOZ’s award-winning staff, show hosts, and volunteers as well as dedicated board members, and key supporters. WWOZ listeners are encouraged to come out to celebrate along the route in festive and fun attire– WWOZ clothing, hats, umbrellas, and flags are highly encouraged! If listeners can’t be there in person, we’ll be video streaming the event on their Facebook page and YouTube channel.

The second line will conclude outside their new home at the Shops at Jax Brewery (600 Decatur St.). More details on WWOZ’s move to the Jax building can be found at HERE.
