I am a Grammy Nominated New Orleans Jazz Musician and Historian. I came to New Orleans in my teens to study Jazz and History at the University of New Orleans. My sense of humor and appreciation for New Orleans is what people love about me. I've traveled the world as a working Jazz Saxophonist, but no matter what I am steeped in the New Orleans Culture. My tours can be completely customized for you especially if you are a music fan. Whether your interests may be the food, art, music, or just the history while in the Big Easy, I look forward to introducing you to the Gumbo we call New Orleans. - City Of New Orleans Tour Guide License Permit - Grammy Nomination in 2026 for Regional Roots Category - Bachelor of Arts from the University of New Orleans in Music History - Tulane University MPS Graduate Student - Managing Partner of Big Easy Walking Tours

Quay was incredible, so knowledgeable and a ton of fun to be around. He really treated us well and we learned a ton about NOLA history. Highly recommend his tours!
Quay was AMAZING! He curated a ghost and music history tour for our extended family. It was a perfect mix of ghost stories and music history. He knew where he could take our kids (ages 16, 16, 14, 13, 12) so they could hear jazz music prior to the bar turning 21years only. Quay was also very personable and connected will with our kids! We highly recommend using Quay as tour guide/historian!
We visited NOLA in Feb 2024. We hired Quay for a French Quarter Tour and he was fantastic. He was very informative and a lot of fun!!
Quay is exceptional! One of the most knowledgeable guided experiences I've had. I felt at ease immediately and he guided me through to amazing places I would've walked right by. Additionally, he seems to know everyone and they him! A real pleasure to spend time with.
