About The Event
New Orleans is a drummer’s town. But in this town full of first class drummers, Herlin Riley is “the” drummer.
The Baron of the Boom Boom. The Pulse that keeps the life flowing through any body of work.
Born into a musical family steeped in gospel, blues and jazz, Herlin was asked by Wynton Marsalis to join him in New York in 1988 where Herlin stayed for almost 20 years, all the while still maintaining a home in New Orleans. Today, he still is a regularly featured musician with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, but has been based back in his hometown when he wasn't on tour with Ahmad Jamal, Dr. John, or Harry Connick, Jr. He lights up any stage with just his presence alone, and always fires up the first class musicians who love to play with him.
"The King of Tremé," Mr. Shannon Powell guests for this special edition to close out our 30th Anniversary.
Join us for the Grand Finale of Nickel-A-Dance's 30th Season this evening!
Sets at 4:00pm and 5:45pm. As always, Nickel-A-Dance is FREE of charge, All Ages, and family friendly.
There is a bar and kitchen available, but no one is pressured to drink. Dancing Shoes Suggested!
