Beams and Brews visits The Roots of Music's New Campus

Join the PRC for a special Beams and Brews with The Roots of Music at the nonprofit’s new home in Gentilly Woods. While touring the campus, attendees will enjoy the sounds of the Marching Crusaders, a favorite along parade routes. The Roots of Music founder Derrick Tabb and Bass Construction LLC plan to restore the existing buildings to create a campus that will allow the organization to grow.
Until recently, St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish occupied the property. Completed in the mid-1950s, it boasts three school buildings and a church. The Archdiocese of New Orleans sold the property earlier this year to The Roots of Music. After work is done, the campus will welcome 150 to 200 students a day for music education, tutoring and mentorship.
Beams & Brews offers a chance to view the ongoing construction, hear from the project’s managers, and enjoy free drinks.
The PRC’s Beams & Brews series is generously sponsored by the presenting sponsor, Dixie Construction, our beams sponsor, True Title, with brews provided by Urban South Brewery.
