TAKE A SPIN AT THE CAROUSEL FOR JAZZY JAMS
Revolving Carousel Bar to Host Hot Local Talent for Jazz Fest Week
New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival goers never fear --- the music doesn’t stop just because the gates to Jazz Fest close. The fun continues at the Hotel Monteleone as it presents Jazzy Jam Week.
It’s a tradition in New Orleans to present visitors with “lagniappe,” which means a little something extra. And starting on Friday, April 25th, music lovers can enjoy the sounds of New Orleans well into the night as they relax in the Carousel Piano Bar & Lounge at the Hotel Monteleone.
One of New Orleans' musical treasures – pianist, vocalist, producer, and songwriter John Autin – will perform solo Thursday, April 24th, then share the stage with a host of musical guests through Jazz Fest. The Jazzy Jam Week schedule has Autin performing each night at 8:00 PM with his musical guest taking the stage at 10:30 PM. Guests include:
Friday, May 2nd - New York City’s Bill Malikow
Saturday, May 3rd - Tom Mc Dermott & Evan Christopher
Sunday, May 4th - Don Vappie
All performances will take place in the Hotel Monteleone’s Carousel Piano Bar and Lounge, which is immortalized in the writings of Ernest Hemingway among others. The revolving Carousel Bar is a part of New Orleans history and was voted by Gambit Magazine as the “Best French Quarter Bar.” The Carousel now also happens to be one of the first “non-smoking” bars in the city!

The Jonathan Ferrara Gallery is proud to present "The Skylar Fein Show", a solo "exhibition by Skylar Fein. The exhibition will be on view from April 25 through May 31, with an artist's reception on Saturday, May 3, from 6 -10pm at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery, 400a Julia Street, in the New Orleans Arts District.
"The Skylar Fein Show" is a socially charged exhibition of works using imagery and icons that refer to the ethics of a remembered, imagined, or possibly lost New Orleans. In this much anticipated solo exhibition by one of Louisiana's acclaimed "rising art stars", Fein reaches beyond New Orleans and Louisiana and addresses the United States as a whole, drawing attention to the peculiarities of our societal make-up that describe who we are today. His imagery draws from popular and subcultural icons, including presidential silhouettes, American flags, Miss America, Jean Paul Sartre, Andy Warhol, and Julian Schnabel.
