New Orleans, LA

February 28 | 1 – 3:30 pm
Sunday Music Workshop Series
Featuring The Johnny Vidacovich Trio

"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 other Sunday fro, when students have the opportunity to play with and learn from the best musicians in the city.

Sunday Music Workshops offer young, aspiring musicians from all walks of life the unique opportunity to play with and learn from some of the area's most experienced and celebrated musicians. Each workshop offers students a hands-on, improvisational approach to music education. Students should bring their instruments! Each child will have their own chance play with the veteran musicians or solo on the famed Tipitina’s Uptown stage. Usually, workshops close with a jam session mixing students and veteran musicians together for a real Tip's concert experience! 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 free on-stage workshops are only for students, but all members of the public are welcome to attend."

From The Best of New Orleans :

"One of the best traditions in New Orleans music is its multigenerational families of performers. The names of Crescent City musical clans read like royalty: Marsalis, Lastie, Andrews, Neville, etc. The Chilluns combines several families, including the Malones (Dave, Johnny, D'Arcy), the Bohrens (Spencer and Andre) and the Clements (Cranston and Annie). The group will play some appropriate Motown and British Invasion covers as well as originals from both the elders and youngsters. Everyone has played with so many national and local acts that the repertoire is as full as a phone book. Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes open. Tickets $15 – David Kunian"
