Tipitina's

A hotbed of New Orleans' live music, the original "Tip's" is Uptown, rocking out beneath oak trees along the Mississippi River. Tip's helped launch the careers of such artists like the Neville Brothers, Harry Connick Jr., Dr. John, and The Subdudes. Filling out the performance schedule are major rock 'n' roll acts, emerging local groups of all genres and regional Cajun, zydeco, blues and R&B performers. Clubs come and they go, but there's no place like the original Tip's. Most Sundays you'll find a Cajun jam onstage. Get a shirt, the banana logo will be the envy of all your friends. Don't forget to rub Professor Longhair's head for luck - his statue greets you as you come into the club. The club was recently bought by members of the funk band Galactic, which might make for some interesting changes.
