New Orleans' Dirty Dozen Brass Band OK


The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, which has played the Narrows and is scheduled to return Friday, November 18, is ok. The band is based in New Orleans. Their agency, Rosebud, released this statement on their website:

Along with people across the country and around the world, we at the Rosebud Agency are deeply moved and saddened by the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina and the uncertain future that so many victims now face. As a response to those who have expressed concern, we are relieved and grateful to advise that BeauSoleil and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, who had homes and families in New Orleans and the vicinity, are safe and relocated. Both artists will continue their performance schedules for dates outside of the affected area and, of course, there is no news yet as to what will become of shows planned within the area struck by the hurricane.
