Dew Drop Jazz & Social Hall

Mandeville’s native son, Miles Berry and his quartet represent a new generation’s expression of Louisiana jazz, stylistically mixing the old with modern sounds. For Miles, this return to the stage at the historic Dew Drop Jazz & Social Hall is more than a gig – it’s a homecoming. The Mandeville High/NOCCA Grad has made impressive strides in the New Orleans Music scene as both a sideman and stepping out in front of his own group. While last fall Miles appeared with the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra at Lincoln Center, this show is a reminder that some of the most powerful music happens when an artist comes home and lets the songs speak for themselves.

Presented by the Friends of the Dew Drop, this concert will feature home-cooked food for purchase provided by the Ladies of First Free Mission Baptist Church, located next door. Soft drinks, water, beer and wine will be available for purchase. The concert begins at 6:30pm and will run till 9pm.

Admission is $15 per adult. Students and children can enter free. No advance ticket sales, pay at entrance when doors open at 5:30pm. No outside food or drinks are allowed and lawn chairs can be used outside the hall on the grounds. Please, no smoking allowed on premises, and no pets allowed.

About the Dew Drop: In 1885, a group of civic-minded African American residents of the village of Mandeville, led by the late Olivia Eunio, created the Dew Drop Social and Benevolent Association. A decade later, in 1895, the organization laid a cornerstone and constructed a small wooden building 2 1/2 blocks from Lake Pontchartrain on Lamarque Street. The Association, like many created among African American residents following the Civil War, had chiefly benevolent goals - to care for the sick, provide help with funeral arrangements, food & temporary housing - all during a time when black residents could not obtain various types of insurance. Starting around the turn of the century, and for more than 40 years the Dew Drop was a sparkling center of musical activity for the neighborhood and community. Documentation reveals that early jazz greats such as Buddie Petit, Kid Ory, Bunk Johnson, George Lewis and even Louis Armstrong shared the small stage inside the building.

Today, known as one of the oldest, unaltered rural jazz halls held in the public trust in the U.S. (owned by the City of Mandeville), the 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, Friends of the Dew Drop, schedules and manages the hall’s performances and educational activities (JazzKids). Along with hundreds of evening concerts presented in the historic hall over two decades the Friends of the Dew Drop have also gifted 50+ free JazzKids music assemblies and master classes since 2015 to schools in St. Tammany Parish, reaching over 12,000 local students in grades PreK-12.

The mission of the Friends of the Dew Drop is to preserve the Dew Drop Jazz Hall and promote its significance in the origins and the cultural history of Mandeville though music performances, music education programs and benevolent activities in support of local and emerging artists.
