Nola Live Music Letter: Summer playlist

Editor’s Note: There is so much live music in New Orleans, and sometimes it can be rather overwhelming to know what to hear, where to go, or what to do. Writer and music lover Wesley Hodges is giving weekly previews of the live music happening in New Orleans as well as some sneak previews into what is coming up. For a full view of Wesley’s suggestions, check out his facebook page.

Good morning folks,

I hope this message finds you healthy, happy and dreaming of your next trip to worship the sun. Passing along my annual summer playlist, best enjoyed on the beach, by the pool or on a long weekend drive. Hope to see ya soon, hit me up if ever in DC.

Enjoy the listen,

Wesley
