Travel to the birthplace of jazz as Squirrel Nut Zippers take you on a devilishly entertaining voyage to the New Orleans of yesteryear!
The iconic jazz rockers present Jazz from the Back O’ Town, an intimate, yet devilishly entertaining show that explores the NOLA jazz scene of the late 19th century through the Roaring ’20s, performed in era-appropriate attire. The Zippers provide a delightful view into this mystical era with exciting renditions of classics like Jelly Roll Morton’s “Animule Ball” and Louis Armstrong’s “Back O’ Town Blues,” as well as favorites from their own catalog, adapted and arranged to more closely echo the era. Additionally, SNZ founder Jimbo Mathus offers humorous, insightful musings on both the musical history of one of America’s most fascinating cities and the stories and inspirations behind the Zippers’ most beloved songs.
