This website is being produced to celebrate Frenchmen Street, with all its diversity and excitement. We hope you enjoy it and please contact us if you have any comments or suggestions. Future plans include the addition of audio and video for downloading soon.

FrenchmenSt.Com is for and by local New Orleans musicians.

This mantra is true. While we celebrate and love all of New Orleans, Frenchmen Street is a wonderful year-round harbor for working musicians. Each week, hundreds of musicians perform on Frenchmen Street in colorful clubs and cafes creating a truly magical scene that is unequaled in the world.

Does Austin have it? No way! Been there done that! How about New York City? Great Town and a lot to do but lacking in the comradely amongst musicians that is shared by the Frenchmen Street bands. The City of New Orleans talks about building a multimillion-dollar Jazz Museum. Museums are for dead things. Frenchmen Street is alive and breathing; and free of bureaucratic ideas.

This website is not a government-sponsored site. While, the idea of government-supported art may work in a perfect world, we do not live in a perfect world. However, Frenchmen Street is a Shangri-La for musicians, music lovers, and dancers.

We welcome the locals and tourists to enjoy the local acts. Please support the musicians by buying CDs and other merchandise they may be selling from the bandstand

That is the main reason for Frenchmenst.Com – to promote the bands, the clubs and the cafes on Frenchmen Street. In the future, we hope to include sound and video clips of the music and dancers. We hope to include the well-known and "not so well known" acts. In addition, coming soon will be interviews of the people of the street – the bands, bartenders, cooks, owners and patrons. We hope to have fun with this site and we welcome your feedback.
