Tipitina's Sunday Music Workshops
Resurrecting a program that was popular in the early '90s, the Tipitina's Foundation proudly announces the Sunday Music Workshop Series, the brainchild of Stanton Moore and Johnny and Deborah Vidacovich. These free workshops take place every Sunday from 12:30-3:30 at Tipitina's Uptown, where students have the opportunity to play with and learn from the best musicians in the city. As many of the city's various music programs have been put on hold since the storm, these workshops are serving a vital need in the rebuilding process: passing on the musical traditions to a younger generation. Featured artists so far have included Stanton Moore, Johnny Vidacovich, Kirk Joseph, and Theresa Anderson. The on-stage workshops are only for students, who are encouraged to bring their insruments, but all members of the public are welcome to attend.
Upcoming Workshops:
July 6: with David Russell Batiste, Jr., Kensuke Yamamoto, Keiko Komaki, Ian Cunningham, Mark Chatters, Tom Fitzpatrick
July 13: Moyuba
July 20: Robert Walter, Brad Hauser, Johnny Vidacovich
