Tom McDermott & Tim Laughlin

𝐓𝐨𝐦 𝐌𝐜𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐭 and 𝐓𝐢𝐦 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐧 aren’t just two of the most respected names in New Orleans jazz — they’re also longtime collaborators who know how to fill a room without ever rushing it. When 𝐓𝐨𝐦 is at the piano and 𝐓𝐢𝐦 is on clarinet, you’re in for the kind of set where every note has purpose and nothing gets phoned in.

The vibe here isn’t flashy. It’s conversational — two masters who’ve played everything and still listen like they’re learning something new. Their shared love of early jazz shows up in every tune, but so does their curiosity. Whether it’s a reharmonized standard or a deep cut you forgot you knew, they make it fresh without showing off.

Come for the musicianship, stay for the chemistry. These two don’t play together often — when they do, you want to be in the room.

🍽️ Full bar and kitchen service during the show.
🎟️ Tickets in advance are cheaper.
