Maybe no city in America has been as important to American music as New Orleans. The Big Easy’s melting pot of people & cultures birthed jazz & blues almost a century ago, and has had its hand in pretty much everything else. In 1999, that legacy was combined with New Orleans’ gothic status for the inaugural Voodoo Music Festival on Halloween weekend. Since then, it has survived Hurricane Katrina & ‘Heckuva job, Brownie’ – not to mention moving to the weekend before Halloween – celebrating its tenth anniversary last year by renaming itself ‘Voodoo Experience’. And now the Voodoo returns to Halloween weekend, taking place over three days, Friday, October 30th to Sunday, November 1st, 2009.
