"Tipitina's Foundation presents
Music Workshop Series

Featuring Feufollet*

Workshop - FREE!
All Ages

Students bring your instruments! Open to the public. No smoking/drinking.

"Resurrecting a program that was popular in the early '90s, the Tipitina's Foundation proudly announces the Sunday Music Workshop Series, the brainchild of Stanton Moore and Johnny and Deborah Vidacovich. These free workshops take place every Sunday from 12:30-3:30 at Tipitina's Uptown, where students have the opportunity to play with and learn from the best musicians in the city. As many of the city's various music programs have been put on hold since the storm, these workshops are serving a vital need in the rebuilding process: passing on the musical traditions to a younger generation. Featured artists so far have included Stanton Moore, Johnny Vidacovich, Kirk Joseph, and Theresa Anderson. The on-stage workshops are only for students, who are encouraged to bring their insruments, but all members of the public are welcome to attend."

* Common interests in French language, music, and Louisiana heritage brought together the young members of La Bande "Feufollet". The group performs original and traditional songs in the French language including twin fiddle pieces from the 1800's and early 1900's in addition to traditional accordion pieces. Audiences enjoy the performances of "Feufollet" for their fine musicianship along with the energy and spirit that the band portrays."
