Blackdog LIVE at Café Negril

Every Friday Afternoon | Café Negril | Frenchmen Street

There are Friday afternoons…
And then there’s Blackdog at Café Negril.

If you know New Orleans, you know the weekend doesn’t start at night — it starts when the right band hits the stage.

Black Dog brings together serious local talent:
🎸 John Ridnell
🥁 Eddie Christmas
🎹 Sam Price
🎤 MikeyB3

This isn’t a casual jam session. This is tight musicianship, deep grooves, and the kind of seasoned chemistry that only happens when real players lock in together.

Expect:
• Blues-drenched riffs
• Funk you feel in your chest
• Improvised moments that make you look around like, “Did you hear that?”
• A soundtrack that sets the tone for your entire weekend

Friday afternoons on Frenchmen Street have a certain magic — the sunlight still hitting the street, the first round of cocktails landing, that shift from work mode to weekend mode.

This is the reset.
This is the kickoff.

Whether you’re a local who knows the ritual or a visitor who wants the authentic Frenchmen experience, Blackdog is the move.

Grab a drink. Claim your spot. Let the groove do the rest.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
