Welcome to the 3rd Annual Nolafunk Summer Jazzfest! We are pleased to have Little Feat involved this year and look forward to another amazing show as such the tradition.
The Nolafunk Summer Jazzfest in year’s past has featured Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Jon Cleary, Rebirth Brass Band, Brother Joscephus & the Love Revival Revolution Orchestra, and more.
For four decades, Little Feat has been billed as one of the best live rock n’ roll bands ever. They also remain one of the most active. Little Feat is Paul Barrere, guitar and vocals; Bill Payne, keyboards and vocals; Fred Tackett, guitar/mandolin/trumpet and vocals; Richie Hayward, drums and vocals; Kenny Gradney, bass; and Sam Clayton, congas and vocals. Since the band was formed by Lowell George in 1969, Little Feat has always has been well received by fans and critics. But for most of its existence, the band has never been exactly mainstream. Nonetheless, Little Feat has survived and thrived under the radar because its music is important, influential and has tremendous multigenerational magnetism. The band’s lasting appeal among fellow musicians – both individually and collectively – also is unmistakable. They are pros’ pros and have collaborated with icons such as Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Plant, and John Lee Hooker. They also have toured or worked on albums individually with the Doobie Brothers, Pink Floyd, the Allman Brothers and Ringo Starr. Their presence in rock is important and someday – hopefully soon – Little Feat will be inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame.

About the Venue:
Located within the South Street Seaport, the Beekman Beer Garden Beach Club is New York City's hottest summer venue for outdoor events. Schmooze with guests along the East River under the stars on the 200-ton sandy beach. Lounge on couches with your feet in the sand, or show off your skills over a game of pool, foosball or ping pong. Enjoy the concert in the 10,000 sq. foot open-air beer tent with the iconic Brooklyn Bridge as your backdrop. And if summer rain showers pop up, you stay dry under the tent with a pint of beer.
You can delight in cuisine from a menu with everything from chicken fingers to oysters on the half shell. This is truly a unique and intimate setting to hear and see live music, with the backdrop of multiple bridges and the East River beside you.
VIP Tickets are also available and include an exclusive backstage party area with unlimited food & beer all night, premium VIP viewing area for show (next to stage), and a show poster.
