Try Tipitina's for Cajun music. Check their calendar and see who's playing. Tipitina's is on Napolean Ave. Not sure what area of New Orleans. I don't think you can walk there from Frenchman St or if it's a good idea. I haven't been there in 30 years but I remember it well and it was fun.

Hello, Frenchmen street is on the edge of French Quarter. It starts where Decatour street is crossing Esplenade. On the corner there, you find Music Factory in a yellow building. That is a big music store. It is also a garage for a fire brigade, and the sign says engine nr 9. Hope you find it.

Q:
I have 2 teenaged boys (17yr & 14yr) who love jazz. Will they be allowed into the venues if they are with me? Unfortunately, all advanced tickets for Preservation Hall are sold out next week during their Spring break.
A:
We ate and listened to a set of jazz at Snug Harbor. Maybe call there and ask. I don’t remember seeing children, but since it’s a restaurant too that might help.
