HT Giveaway: Nolafunk Jazzfest Series Tickets

One week from Friday, the First Annual Nolafunk Jazzfest Series will launch at New Orleans nightclub Republic with a performance by a one-night only band made up of Anders Osborne, Bill Kreutzmann of the Grateful Dead, Paul Barrere & Fred Tackett of Little Feat, and Billy Iuso followed by a set from ALO and opened by Marco Benevento. The series runs through May 5 and along the way will see performances by such HT faves as Los Lobos, Leftover Salmon, 7 Walkers, Wyllys and the NY Hustler Ensemble and Budos Band.
