New Orleans Jazz Fest


The creation of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival gave jazz musicians a way to constantly get gigs. It was founded in 1970. A ticket cost $3. Before the festival bands could only become big through bar gigs. The first band they booked, Snooks, was a street performer. The proceeds from the festival go towards the non-profit The Jazz and Heritage Foundation. The Foundation organizes many free events and programs year-round that help preserve New Orleans’s music tradition.

  1. Being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
