Spice up your Saturday with a “gumbo” of Cajun, Creole, Zydeco and jazz influences from Johnette Downing. She's been called "the pied piper of Louisiana music traditions" and we're sure all your little ones will be dancing up a storm to her multi-award winning music.

Johnette says, "Some of my earliest childhood memories are of my parents, my siblings and me standing in the doorways of Jazz clubs in the French Quarter and listening to Dixieland Jazz. I want to share music with children the way my parents shared it with me at such a young age. I perform music for children because I love it, I respect children, I like making children laugh and think, I want to share my musical culture, and I like giving children a reason to celebrate being children."

She performs at 11 a.m. this Saturday -  tickets are $6 for members and $8 general (babies under 1 are free).

P.S. Use the code groovy when you register online in advance to save $1 per ticket!
