Louisiana Dance Hall presents:
Looks like the Richmond Folk Festival was a big success, even in its scaled-down form this year. During the same time, the mighty WWOZ in New Orleans was broadcasting its “Festing in Place” series of concert performances to make the best of the cancellation of the already-rescheduled 2021 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Since this is the Louisiana Dance Hall, I’m featuring music by artists who were featured during this past weekend’s “Festing in Place” shows. Hope you enjoy what you hear!
