Chuck Bergeron presents the Stories Behind the Music
R & B in the Big Easy

We start our season with a lively New Orleans celebration, exploring the iconic rich and vibrant Crescent City sound through pioneers like Professor Longhair, James Booker, and Dr. John, alongside bands such as The Meters and The Neville Brothers. With stories, musical examples, and a little dancing, we’ll also dive into Allen Toussaint’s remarkable discography. Presented by bassist Chuck Bergeron, the program blends storytelling, history, and firsthand insight drawn from his four-decade international performing career.
