The music brought us together
Our founding members are three friends from Central Wisconsin brought together by a shared passion for the rich cultural tapestry of New Orleans — its music, history, food, and vibrant traditions. United by a deep appreciation for traditional jazz and a desire to celebrate and preserve this art form, we established our nonprofit to educate, inspire, and connect our local community with the spirit and stories of New Orleans. Though we come from different backgrounds, we are all driven by a common goal: to create joyful, educational experiences that honor the legacy of this remarkable culture while building a sense of connection and celebration right here at home.
