NOLA Resistance To Tear Up Tipitina’s TV on December 29
The stellar crew of New Orleans musicians who make up NOLA Resistance will be breaking out of their Covid-necessitated ban on public performance with a “live” show recorded at Tipitina’s on Monday, December 28.
The show will be streamed on-demand for free on Nugs.tv, Tipitina’s show-hosting service, the following night, Tuesday, December 29 starting at 9pm EST. It will also be available on NolaResistance.com.
The players are all A-list avatars of classic New Orleans jazz and funk. Led by
Matt Dillon, they include
Leo Nocentelli, Kermit Ruffins, Herlin Riley, Bill Summers, Darrell Lavigne, June Yamagishi, James Andrews, Gralen Banks, Casmè Barnes, Chris Severin and others. This was the team that recorded and independently released the CD entitled “NOLA Resistance” in the fall of 2019. The goal then was to create a protest record. The inspiration now is more hopeful. “After a very tumultuous time in American life, we can finally start fresh again,” says Matt.
