Monday Morning Video: The Ponderosa Stomp!

Monday, September 23, 2013 By Mayer Danzig

Hot on the heels of our celebration of Muscle Shoals, we’ll turn our attention to another legendary music city: New Orleans.

The Ponderosa Stomp music festival, to be held in New Orleans from October 3-5, bills itself as “celebrating the unsung heroes of American music.” It is an appropriate way to describe a weekend celebration of artists like the Standells and Swamp Dogg who, while not widely known, have produced music that stands tall in the American music canon and have been an inspiration to generations of musicians.

Get all the details here.
