About This Event

When you think of New Orleans, the city’s foremost flambeaux-lit traditions of Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street, voodoo, Po’ boys, beads, gumbo, and second line undoubtedly come to mind. You can also count Big Sam’s Funky Nation amongst those NOLA treasures.

Known for a boisterous blend of funk, jazz, rock, and hip-hop, nothing short of seismic live “experiences,” and a whole lot of Southern charm, Big Sam might very well be The Big Easy’s best kept secret.

Reserve your seats now for an intimate night of live NOLA funk at the Jazz Playhouse , located in the lobby of the Royal Sonesta New Orleans, featuring a friend of The Jazz Playhouse, BIG SAM WILLIAMS.

Each table will include:

• Live music in a tranquil ambiance in the heart of the French Quarter

• Cocktail service to enjoy our fully stocked bar

• Food selections for purchase

**Must be 21 years of age to attend show, no exceptions **

**Seats are held for 30 minutes after the show starts before being considered a no-show**

**Refund available upon cancellation of reservation within 24 hours of show time**

**Purchase of tickets does not guarantee a seat in the front row of the venue but does guarantee a seat with a clear view of the stage. Ticketed seats are sat on a first come first serve basis, based on party size**

**Special Event valet rate - $20/vehicle. Please provide ticket to event staff for validation. Garage entryways located on both the Bienville and Conti sides of the hotel.
