Bravo Michael Murphy! I thoroughly enjoyed the World Premiere of the very informative and entertaining documentary film, “Up From The Streets” on October 22, at the Orpheum Theater with filmmakers in attendance.
From Louis Armstrong to James Booker, jazz and blues to rock and roll, New Orleans is known the world over for its phenomenal musicians and vibrant music scene. “Up From the Streets” offers a comprehensive look into the history of New Orleans music and its extensive influence around the world. With Afro-Caribbean influence to Mardi Gras Indians and Second Line parades, New Orleans is home to a unique mesh of cultures.
Through interviews, performances, and street footage, this film celebrates life through the universal language of music. New Orleans music may come from the streets, but where it takes you is boundless.
I also attended a lovely fundraiser for Hon. LaToya Cantrell at the Magnolia Mansion!
Fundraiser in honor of Hon.LaToya Cantrell, New Orleans Mayor!
Please put in your calendar and make your reservation now 🍸
