More than 25 Million People have loved and shared Doreen Ketchens video clips on YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook. Now it's time to discover her yourself. Live, performing in the greatest traditions of the music, at the Royal Street Performing Arts Zone.

That heavenly sound wafting down from Royal Street and St. Peter is the magical clarinet of the great Doreen Ketchens, one of the world's top Jazz clarinetists, and her band, Doreen's Jazz New Orleans, is performing on St. Peter, the French Quarter street closed to traffic as a space for live performance, in their usual spot on at the corner of Royal Street and St Peter.

She packs the tent at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival every year, and amazes and delights clubs in the North America, Europe, Latin America, and at corporate events and private parties.

Why, you might ask, is this classically trained phenom, who has played for four presidents; who was dubbed "Lady Louis" and whose sound has been compared to the great Sidney Bechet, performing "al fresco" on the streets of NOLA?

Two simple answers: She carries on the fine heritage of live music played in the streets of the Big Easy for more than a century, and, because you will, after listening for a few moments, be more than happy to pay for your listening pleasure with a generous tip, or, more often, by taking home one of Doreen's wonderful CDs as a treasure of your visit and your time with her.

Royal Street - French Quarter, Royal Street & St. Peter is where you'll meet her! Come and be amazed. 11:00a to 3p., weather permitting.
