Banjo Hall of Famer Don Vappie and Jazz Créole LIVE STREAM from Old Orleans! 1st Set

Award winning Créole Banjoist guitarist vocalist, considered one of the best banjoists in the history of New Orleans and credited with preserving Créole culture. We're going live in Old Orleans!

Don Vappie is a Creole banjo player/singer from New Orleans. Awarded multiple times, he is recognised throughout the world as THE contemporary representative of a long line of illustrious musicians, such as Danny Barker and Johnny St Cyr. By honouring the traditions of his elders, Don in turn takes up the torch of the rich Creole musical history. He is an emblematic artist of his city, of his culture and today he is the headliner of many festivals and concert halls around the world.
He embodies the melting pot of New Orleans combining all genres of from traditional to modern day funk with the classic early tradition of a string band, and presents us with David Horniblow (UK), Dave Kelbie (UK) and Sebastien Girardot (FR) a quartet seasoned with Jelly Roll-like rhythms and garnished with traditional songs but also with original compositions.
