Purple, green and gold is always a good choice for decorating at this time of year.

Being born in New Orleans, has given me my zest for life and my desire to experience all the world has to offer. I grew up with Mardi Gras, teething on a pair of carnival beads…and then came an appreciation for the musical legacy of New Orleans.

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival began in 1970. This year the dates are April 27 – May 6, 2012. Beach Boys Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks will come together for a new studio album and a 50-date international tour to begin in April with a headlining performance at Jazz Fest. Visit http://www.nojazzfest.com for the line-up of musicians scheduled to perform, and anything else related to the event.

“The true heart and soul of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, as with New Orleans itself, is music. It’s the force that drives and defines us. It’s not just for entertainment, but it feeds our soul.”
Quint Davis

I would recommend New Orleans to anyone looking for good food, good friends, and good times. We celebrate life every chance we get, and are happy to share our love of music and food with the rest of the world.
