Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Play it Forward

If there is one American city that knows a thing or two about helping neighbors in need, it is New Orleans. FEMA foibles aside, the outpouring of support in the wake of Hurricane Katrina was, and continues to be, inspiring. Though there is still much work to be done in returning the city to her former glory, one noted N’awlins group is hitting the road to help less fortunate friends across the country, the incomparable Preservation Hall Jazz Band. A veritable living encyclopedia of Big Easy jazz, the world-renowned ensemble appears at the Flynn MainStage this Friday for a performance to benefit the Vermont Foodbank.
