New Orleans Events and Live Music: Post-Labor Day Weekend, September 2nd – 8th

Tuesday, September 3rd: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard at the Joy Theater

Catahoula Hotel is sponsoring this special evening of live, tropically-tinged music and some of the world’s finest burlesque at moody One Eyed Jacks in the French Quarter.
