The Dukes of Dixieland are a cornerstone of traditional New Orleans jazz. Re-formed in 1974 by John Shoup after the original Dukes era, the group anchors their sound in high-energy brass-led performances that honor the city’s storied musical heritage while embracing collaborations across country, folk, and gospel. Based in New Orleans, they’ve maintained a long-running booking with Steamboat Natchez since 1992, delivering lively shows that celebrate the spirit of Dixieland with a modern edge.
