Biography
Bourbon Street Jubilee is a celebrated tribute act that captures the essence of New Orleans brass, swing, and trad jazz. Guided by a deep respect for the Crescent City’s musical heritage, the project brings together seasoned performers and a dynamic show format designed to travel. The ensemble is anchored by the Catnip Junkies, touted as the house band for the production — a tight-knit group described as the happiest, tappiest and brassiest players in the business. Their sound blends traditional jazz, Mardi Gras rhythms, and brass-band energy to create an immersive experience that transports listeners to the streets of the French Quarter.
The project leans on a curated repertoire that honors iconic composers and styles from New Orleans’ golden era while allowing room for fresh improvisation. It’s not just a tribute show; it’s a living celebration of the music, culture, and communal spirit of New Orleans.
