SECOND LINES AND BLACK POTS: AMERICAN ROUTES LIVE IN LOUISIANA
Come stir the pot with American Routes as we bring you a sampling of great live music from our home state: Louisiana. First we’ll stop by the soon to be legendary BlackPot Festival in Lafayette for some new flavors of Cajun and Creole tunes, as well as some old favorites by special guests. Then we’ll walk through the streets of New Orleans with the Prince of Wales Social Aid and Pleasure Club during their annual second line parade.
