* New Orleans is still the birth canal of tomorrow's sound - http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HollowTree/~3/194495776/new-orleans-is-still-birth-canal-of.html

One aspect of the fun of being a music fan is tracking the trends. In practically every genre, things change and novelty is pursued. It's this continuing flux that adds elements of surprise and keeps the ancient art form fascinating.

New Orleans, once the birthplace of Jazz, is still a crucible of novelty for music--not to mention a handful of other cultural forms. The city is less a global crossroads than it was in the early 20th century. Nowadays it is more a national crossroads, a waystation for the various transient and fringe communities that do the hard work of keeping the United States weird. Even since the Storm, NOLA is a part time home for neo-carnies, pseudo-hoboes, professional vice enthusiasts, musicians and every other type of folk artist that this great nation spawns.

Each year at the New Orleans Voodoo Music Festival, while bigger names grace bigger stages, the Noomoon Tribe hosts a side stage chock full of local music acts. The names of the bands tend to change, but those who watch from year to year will notice that many of the same painted faces return over the course of time. It's possible that one or two of these dedicated artists may rise to higher levels in the music scene, but for many this is as good as it gets--a moment pushing the limits of their art on stage before a crowd that may not be large, but is most definitely appreciative.

Watch this video and see that there are many diamonds-in-the-rough in the mud of the flooded city. They pour their guts into what they do, and they always will, because it's New Orleans, shadow of America, the place where our culture is made every day, even if the fact is not always recognized.
