Hmm. Street, an insider's guide to New Orleans. Beyond Bourbon Street is the podcast

where we explore the food, music, culture, places, and people that make New

Orleans unique. Whether you are planning a trip, living in New Orleans, or simply wanting a taste of the Crescent City from wherever you are,

you've come to the right place.

And now, your host, Mark Bologna.

Hey y'all, this is Mark.

Welcome to episode 2006.

Today's episode is all about New Orleans music. We'll sit down with a reporter who covers the scene and get an inside look.

The last show is our Jazz Fest Survival Guide. Even though Jazz Fest 2024 has come and gone, if you're already thinking about 2025 go back and give

it a listen I think you'll enjoy it. Before we jump in let me talk about the people that make

this show possible support comes from the Historic New Orleans Collection, the city's

Premier History Museum located at 520 Royal Street in the heart of the French

quarter. Check out their online publication called First Draft. It's a combination blog and online exhibition space at HNOC.org slash first draft.

The exhibition Unknown Sitters displays portraits from the Historic New Orleans Collections

holdings of people who are

unidentified in the historical record. The sitters identities were lost to

erase from history for a variety of reasons, but these works of art have much

to share. Their clothing and surroundings, written inscriptions and signatures, and the artist biographies allow curators to craft basic narratives of the lives and times of the people depicted.

When grouped together, these works reflect the few of the lives and times of the people depicted.

When grouped together, these works reflect the field of portraiture in New Orleans art

history and illuminate the gaps and biases in the historical record.

The exhibition runs through October 6, 2024.
