The live experience
What reaches the room
The Dirty Notes—born from Loyola University New Orleans in 2001—are a horn‑driven funk/rock outfit that blends jazz, Dixieland, and klezmer influences into high‑energy performances. Their breakout moment came when they won the Loyola Battle of the Bands in their founding year, instantly setting the stage for a distinctive sound that would become a staple on the New Orleans music scene. Known for explosive live shows at iconic venues across the city, The Dirty Notes have become a favorite at Jazz Fest and beyond.
