About Howlin' Wolf
The Howlin' Wolf is one of New Orleans' most important mid-sized venues, named in tribute to blues legend Chester Arthur Burnett and operating with the same respect for American roots music that the name implies. The venue's programming spans the full spectrum from jazz and blues to rock and electronic music, reflecting New Orleans' position at the intersection of America's musical traditions. Its Arts District location puts it alongside galleries and restaurants in one of the city's most culturally active neighbourhoods.
History
Howlin' Wolf opened in 1988 and has been an anchor of New Orleans' live music scene through every transformation the city has experienced, including Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Its survival and continued operation is itself a testament to New Orleans' musical resilience.
