The Maple Leaf Bar is the place to be to support a great cause and see a reunion of two of the lesser sung bands of the 1990s second wave of funk/jam bands in New Orleans.
Jonas Risin’ will be appearing with special guests Papa Mali, Joe Krown, Leslie Blackshear Smith, Adam Crochet, and Calvin Johnson. Pocketfoxx, another rocking band from the era, reunites to open the show.
Proceeds from the concert benefit Grow Dat Youth Farm. It is an urban farm, located in New Orleans City Park, that works with high schools and youth organizations throughout New Orleans to recruit a diverse and committed group of youth who develop leadership and life skills during their intensive, hands-on work experience.
The evening is also a tribute to the spirit of the late, great saxophonist Tim Green.
A VIP party with free beer and food from Jacques-imo’s Café will begin at Frenchy’s Gallery across the street from the Maple Leaf at 7:30 PM. The show begins at 9 PM. More info and advance tickets are here.
