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
