The Blind Boys of Alabama and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band continue to bring attention to the rich musical heritage of New Orleans by announcing their Down By The Riverside collaborative tour. These two historic institutions join together to share with audiences the jubilance and richness of New Orleans as the city continues to rebuild and revitalize. In January, the Blind Boys released Down In New Orleans, their first album ever recorded in the Big Easy. The album continues to receive overwhelming critical acclaim, and features guest performances by the legendary Allen Toussaint, local kingpins the Hot 8 Brass Band, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. In April the Blind Boys and Preservation Hall performed together, along with special guests Dr. John, Susan Tedeschi, and others, at a sold-out concert at Tipitinas in New Orleans. The show was recorded for a DVD due for release in early 2009. Now, they join us as we celebrate the Historic Tennessee Theatre’s 80th anniversary!
