HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM NEW ORLEANS!

December 29th, 2010

Celebrate the arrival of the New Year with American Routes. We’ll hang out at the Ponderosa Stomp for the best in swamp pop, garage rock and surf music, all live from the House of Blues in New Orleans. Then we’ll visit with Wardell Quezergue, the music maestro and arranger known as the “Creole Beethoven,” and learn how he helped build the New Orleans sound. Plus classic New Orleans music to get your party started.
