About this Event

New Orleans is known for its legendary music venues. The stories of two beloved venues, Preservation Hall and Donna's Bar & Grill, have been captured in print, and Words & Music is thrilled to welcome authors Eve Abrams and Donna Poniatowski Sims. They'll be joined by trombonist Craig Klein and saxaphonist Gladney, who will share their memories of playing in these places. The conversation will be moderated by Pamela Blackmon, Programs Manager for the Preservation Hall Foundation.

Free and open to the public; donations gratefully accepted. Donations support One Book One New Orleans' year-round work.
