New Orleans Magical French Quarter is filled with talent and each block offers a different and wonderful form of entertainment. At nearby Jackson Square you can listen to great blues, learn your future from a tarot card reader, and watch a mime or magician entertain a delighted crowd. There is never a dull moment.
The music is the true soul of the Quarter.
The Blues
A trio of musicians in the French Quarter plays some fine hurtin’ music for cash. This trio uses a child’s potty chair to receive donations and has decorated it with fake dog poo. Who can resist donating to such quality sounds and wit!
Jazz
Doreen’s Jazz New Orleans is a jazz group that preforms regularly at the corner of Royal and St Peter St in the French Quarter. Doreen Ketchens, the leader of the group, is called “Queen Clarinet”, “The female Louis Armstrong”, and “Lady Louie” by music critics. They have performed around the world and for four United States presidents. Here, Doreen’s husband Lawrence plays the trombone.
Medley
In New Orleans Magical French Quarter the sounds of everything from jazz to country fill the air, often performed by world famous musicians. Wander until you hear something you like, pull up a curb and let the music wash over you.
The Unexpected
Antoine is from France and has opened his own creative business on Royal Street in New Orleans Magical French Quarter. He is using what surely must be the world’s oldest typewriter, which creates its own special music.
