Tipitina's began as a neighborhood juke joint in 1977, opened by a group of young music fans (The Fabulous Fo'teen) to provide a place for Professor Longhair to perform in his final years. Named for one of Longhair's most enigmatic recordings "Tipitina," the club has survived multiple owners and a brief closing in 1984, only to come back stronger than ever. The venue can hold up to 1000 or so fans standing room only, making this an intimate, sweaty, exhilarating place to hear the likes of Dumpstaphunk, Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas and Galactic - the group that purchased the club last year.
