SUMMARY:Chicken Pickin' Brunch w/ La Terza Classe
DESCRIPTION:To travel in Terza Classe is another story! The under decks of the transatlantic ships\, in the period between the end of the 800 and the 900\, were a crossroad of people and cultures heading to the same horizon of changes and freedom. Through the music\, these migrants\, changed in joy the suffer of the long journey on board to create a “new world” in society and also in music\, as the appalachian bluegrass shows. \nThis is the spirit that give the soul to this group of “music players”\, coming from different styles and experiences. La Terza Classe plays and sings a lot of stories\, some of outlaws and rebellion from slavery\, with the typical sound of the area that goes from Europe to the Louisiana\, passing through the Appalachian Mountains and the Delta of Mississippi. The sound\, full acoustic\, reminds the decks of the big ships\, or the sound of the street bands in the cities where folk\, blues and early jazz melted. \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nTickets are not available for FREE shows. For seating at a FREE show\, please make reservations for the appropriate time at www.venkmans.com (see “Reservations”)\, or by calling 470-225-6162.

SUMMARY:Kermit Ruffins & The Barbeque Swingers
DESCRIPTION:“We Partyin’!” \nKermit Ruffins needs only two words to hype a New Orleans barroom for one of his weekly shows\, and this\, his personal slogan\, sums up what this Big Easy ambassador is all about. \nFrom playing himself in the HBO Series Treme\, to barbecuing outside his bar\, Kermit’s Treme Mother-in-Law Lounge\, to sitting in with Jon Batiste and Stay Human on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\, the trumpeter/vocalist keeps himself busy when he isn’t on stage doing what he does best—entertaining and sharing his love of life with the world. He personifies the laid-back vibe of New Orleans. \nBut he did not come by his gifts easily. Ruffins did his homework and developed his stage persona and musical act by studying artists who came before him. He watched videos of Louis Armstrong and Cab Calloway until the tape wore out\, cut his teeth busking the streets of the French Quarter\, and apprenticed on stages with local legends “Uncle” Lionel Batiste and Danny Barker. \nConsider his lengthy musical career. While still in high school\, he co-founded the Rebirth Brass Band – a group that revolutionized the brass band community in New Orleans with songs like “Do Watcha Wanna” that have become anthems. Rebirth’s growth and success bolstered the rejuvenation of the New Orleans second-line culture that now flourishes. \nStill\, after less than a decade fronting the band and touring the world\, Ruffins tired of the road. He missed the culture at home so much that he traveled\, like fellow New Orleans icon Fats Domino\, with cooking equipment and prepared his favorite foods in hotel rooms far and wide. \nHe made a bold and risky decision to leave Rebirth and go solo\, having no guarantees the public would embrace his new direction. At the time there were very few young musicians playing traditional jazz. Nearly all the backing musicians on his first album were decades older. \nNow\, Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers are a beloved institution – a must-see for every music lover. As he’d helped spur the formation of new brass bands in his 20s\, he’s since influenced the NOLA’s musical direction in the 21st century. Dozens of young musicians and bands are essentially playing the same music Ruffins pioneered with his solo act. They sing into retro microphones\, dress in dandy suits and perform the timeless tunes that defined a decades-past era. \nYet Ruffins has not been content to remain musically static. His live show has included elements of hip-hop since his days with Rebirth. He began rapping on albums long before it was commonplace for jazz musicians to have hip-hop influences. \nIt’s not the first time he’s taken musical chances. He had a short-lived progressive jazz band that experimented with arrangements of songs from the 1970s. His 2009 album\, Livin’ A Tremé Life\, included a version of Johnny Nash’s monster 1972 hit “I Can See Clearly Now.” It also had songs reflecting Ruffins’ deep roots in the R&B of the Crescent City\, like Allen Toussaint’s “Holy Cow.” \nIn the ’90s\, Ruffins fronted a big band with arrangements from great maestro Wardell Quezergue. He stocked the band with superior local musicians and the performances were on par with great bands of the ’40s\, updated to reflect Ruffins’ effervescent personality. His 2010 release\, Happy Talk\, revisited that territory with a full horn section and sumptuous arrangements of tunes like “If I Only Had a Brain” (from The Wizard of Oz) and the Louis Armstrong hit “La Vie En Rose.” \nWith over fifteen albums to his credit including live albums capturing his inimitable stage presence (1998’s The Barbecue Swingers Live and 2005’s Live at Vaughan’s)\, a collaboration with his Rebirth Brass Band brethren (2005’s Throwback)\, a holiday album (Have A Crazy Cool Christmas [2009])\, an homage to New Orleans’ traditional jazz (We Partyin’ Traditional Style! [2010])\, and the party-anthem packed #imsoneworleans (2015) the New Orleans trumpeter shows no signs of slowing down. \nEvery year Ruffins ebullient attitude and love of his hometown music firms his reputation as the New Orleans idol. Dedicated to preserving and passing on the tradition of jazz\, he is often compared to his own hero\, Louis Armstrong. \nOn his likeness to “Satch” Kermit says\, “That’s someone who really\, really led one of America’s true art forms. He was really the cherry on top of New Orleans music. And now I see it being passed on to younger kids\, and for me to have a role in that and to maybe do the things he did is so spiritual to me.” \nWhether he’s slinging barbecue\, adding to his collection of fedoras\, or playing at one of his regular weekly shows\, Kermit Ruffins does it with joy and passion. It’s an attitude befitting of any true New Orleanian\, and it can be summed up in two simple words: We Partyin’! \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nPurchasing a General Admission ticket does not guarantee a seat/table. \nAdditional reservations are not required if booth\, table\, or banquette tickets have been purchased via Ticketfly. \nPLEASE NOTE: If earlier dinner reservations are made\, your seats are not guaranteed for the show. For example\, you cannot reserve a table at 7:00pm and keep it for a 9:30pm show.
