New Orleans still needs your help!
One of the reasons we wanted to do this series was to make sure the people in this region got to see just how important the music and culture of New Orleans really is. Over two years later, the effects of Katrina are still being felt and the people of New Orleans still need your help. We've done a small part by providing work to some of the bands and musicians from the Big Easy, and it would be great if you could help too. Here are some links, especially ones that will help the musicians.
