The Howlin Wolf New Orleans

The Howlin Wolf New Orleans With two amazing venues under one roof in New Orleans, The Howlin' Wolf is the south's premier location for live music.
(913)

The Howlin' Wolf has a long history as one of New Orleans' finest locally owned and operated venues. Named after the legendary bluesman Chester Burnett, New Orleans was introduced to the Howlin' Wolf in 1988, when it opened up in Fat City. After outgrowing its' space in a cotton warehouse, the venue relocated to what was previously the New Orleans Music Hall, in the Warehouse District. The current

location's exterior is a mural masterpiece created by renowned artist Michalopoulos. The Mural is a recreation of New Orleans neighborhood scenes that tell the story of the undeniable music history, from its' Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong, to a second line with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Not to be out done by the building’s exterior the interior is every bit as dynamic. The bar is as unique as you will find anywhere, made from hand carved mahogany; it was taken from Al Capone's hotel The Lexington during demolition in the 80's. The detail on this piece is extraordinary, down to the Fleur De Lis that adorn its' face. In another nod to preserve New Orleans history, the black theatre curtains that line the inner walls were salvaged from the Orpheum Theatre prior to being gutted. The Classic shotgun houses that flank the stage are a perfect contribution to the continuing theme of the city
of New Orleans. Over the years, The Howlin' Wolf has had everyone from Harry Connick Jr. to Arturo Sandoval, Jimmy Buffet, Dr. John. St Paul & The Broken Bones, Snarky Puppy, Dean Ween, The Foo Fighters, Matt & Kim, Ba*****ed Ladies, Allison Krauss, and Citizen Cope are just a few of the many musical luminaries that have graced our stage.

As I enter my 25th year with the Wolf today, I’m a little melancholy, flabbergasted and truly thankful. Thankful for all the people who have come through our doors and those from the Wolf family who made them feel at home and took care of each other too. Thankful for the words of my sons who said “dad gets to go to work”. Highlights? Too many to mention, but here we go anyways. The Foo Fighters, Keith Urban, the Meters reunion, Hoobastank when we thought the building would fall down, a ten minute impromptu s**t routine from Arturo Sandoval, a very personal happy birthday from Kasey Musgraves ala Marilyn, Meals for Musicians, the “Cajun French Laundry” in the streets after Ida and the hundreds of volunteers and restaurants that helped us feed thousands with no power, representing the Rebirth Brass Band, winning a Grammy after second lining at the Grammy’s, standing next to the President at the White House for International Jazz Day, touring with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, accidentally almost kicking out Steve Winwood, helping to pass the largest arts bill ever, the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (love you F*ckers) that saved independent venues and to get to advocate for the greatest city in the world. I know I missed so many wonderful people and so many amazing events, but they all mean so much to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you…
