Take Me to the River All-Stars at the Joy
As if Jazz Fest weren’t overstimulating enough… Same goes for New Orleans on a slow night, for that matter. Check out this bill. The sheer concentration of talent and history and profound cultural impact at this one night at the Joy Theater is enough to start another genre of music, let alone get you out of your crib for the night no matter how tired you are after days of festival and all that second-lining and conchon de lait.
The Take Me to the River All-Stars comprise Dirty Dozen Brass Band, William Bell, Cyril Neville, Charlie Musselwhite, Ivan Neville, Luther Dickinson, Ian Neville, Cody Dickinson, Anjelika Jelly Joseph, Big Chief Bo Dollis Jr . & the Wild Magnolias, Joe Ashlar, and more! Plus, musical director: Robert Mercurio of Galactic.
‘Take Me to the River’ is not just a project: It’s a heartfelt journey into the soul of American music. Born from a desire to celebrate and preserve the rich musical legacies of Memphis and New Orleans, our initiative has grown into a movement that documents, educates, and showcases the profound cultural impact of these musical havens.

The Joy Theater lives on Canal Street, in the heart of downtown New Orleans. Bordered by the Central Business District and Historic French Quarter, many of the country’s finest bars, hotels, and restaurants are a quick walk away.
