New Orleans Music Madness Part 3 - EP115

Today’s episode is the 3rd of three in a row about New Orleans music.

The Historic New Orleans Collection (THNOC) recently did an online tournament where they matched New Orleans music against each other in an NCAA March Madness style bracket they called Music Madness.

People were invited to vote and they published the results online, while also linking to the launch of an online exhibit, called New Orleans Medley: Sounds of the City.

Eli Haddow and Teresa Devlin over at THNOC suggested it might be fun if I filled out my own bracket and talked about my selections. I’ve taken the challenge and covered my initial picks in the last two episodes (#113 and #114).

Today, I am joined by the bracket’s creator, Mr. Eric Seiferth.

Eric and I talk through my picks, his methodology, and more. We dive deep into the music and the people who made it.
