CUE THE TUNES Ruby’s Roadhouse, Mandeville T he streets of Louisiana are paved with music! It lives within the soul of our people, and you can feel it in the rhythm of our lives. It’s no wonder so many musicians come or live here to find inspiration. After all, music not only thrives here, but lots of the music we love today was born here. In New Orleans, there’s nothing like a night at Three Muses , Tipitina’s , Maple Leaf Bar or the clubs on Frenchmen Street . Jonesing for authentic jazz? Check a night at Palm Court Jazz Café off your bucket list. Dew Drop Jazz & Social Hall (circa 1895) and Ruby’s Roadhouse (circa 1930), both in Mandeville, are must-jams as well. Further upriver in Baton Rouge, the Varsity Theatre hosts rock, funk, blues, pop and more near the campus of LSU. What is it about Louisiana that inspires musicians of all kinds – jazz, blues, rock, rap, bounce … you name it? Put on your dancing shoes and come find out. #OnlyLouisiana @LouisianaTravel 43
