Mission & Process
JDV doesn’t have a list of artists in our stable from which you choose. We are less agents than we are curators+producers. Our mission statement is to curate and book real working New Orleans musicians that are the right fit for your event.
Our process is we learn about your event, and then make suggestions for authentic New Orleans artists who will make your event special, and are available for your date. Once when we’re in accordance on which artists we’d like to book, JDV handles the booking, contracting, advancement, and day-of artist management.
Musicians
New Orleans bands booked by JDV are real working musicians who you’ll regularly see or hear listed on the WWOZ Livewire Music Calendar. They play regularly at New Orleans most venerable clubs like DBA, the Maple Leaf, Tipitina’s and Snug Harbor, among many others. They play the French Quarter Festival. They play the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. This is the case across all genres of music: Jazz, R&B, Brass, Blues, Funk, Hip-Hop, DJs, Zydeco, and so on.
