14 Apr New Orleans Entertainers

When I first found out I would be going to shoot in New Orleans, I was…well…less than thrilled. I’d never been there but my vision of New Orleans had been tainted by Mardi Gras stories. That’s just not my kinda thing. A very important lesson was reinforced, don’t make a judgment on something unless you’ve experienced it first hand. Turns out I adore New Orleans. It’s a city that continues to grow on me each time I go back. The people are warm and friendly…definitely something to be said for southern charm. The city always seems alive and vibrant but the pace is nice and slow. The first time I walked down Royal Street I came across Doreen Ketchens, hands down one of the most amazing clarinet players I’ve ever heard. If you ever make it to New Orleans, I’m sure you’ll come across her. Thankfully, she’s been there every trip I’ve made over the last few years.
