| Some of the best live shows on the planet have happened here. Formerly the 501 Club, Tipitina's was founded by Hank Drevich as a clubhouse for Professor Longhair in his declining years. Tipitina's has earned the reputation as the heart and soul of the New Orleans music community. Acts as diverse as Harry Connick, Jr., the Neville Brothers, Dr. John, The Funky Meters, and the Subdudes began their careers at Tipitina's. Galactic was also a frequent inhabitant of Tip's. Tipitina's has music most nights. |
