During his nearly fifty-year recording career, Louis charted in the Top Twenty over 50 times. Southside Aces will perform his everlasting hits in this special show, including songs off their July 16th vinyl release, The Big Beat. Come celebrate the genius and ebullience of the man who changed music forever.

For twenty-three years they’ve brought to life the early New Orleans of Jelly Roll Morton, the Chicago joys of Louis Armstrong, the evocative compositions of the young Duke Ellington, on up to the barrel house sounds of Preservation Hall and the early rock and roll of Fats Domino.
