Famous for its music, its cuisine, its Mardi Gras, its voodoo and of course, its nightlife, New Orleans’ role in the history of jazz and blues is undisputed. And now, from the city where it all began, the penultimate celebration of rhythm, jazz and blues is headed to Australia. The inaugural Legends Of New Orleans tour sees some of New Orleans most influential and revered musical figures of all time, all on one stage, in Australia, for the first time ever. Featuring a massive 17 musician strong touring party direct from N’awlins to some of Australia’s landmark venues, the tour stands as one of the biggest events of its kind on the 2011 Australian touring calendar. Allen Toussaint, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Jon Cleary will be just some of the acts to give you a taste of the city.
