Kermit’s Mother in Law Lounge update

We found out the hard way that Irvin Mayfield and the group he plays with on Tues’ are no more.

Seems Irvin has just opened a club on Bourbon above Felix’s and will be playing there a couple times a week.

Kermit will be performing there on Sa and Su as well as his other gigs.

Built our entire day to be there early only to be disappointed.

It appears that the Tuesday performances you were expecting at Kermit’s Mother-in-Law Lounge no longer occur, as Irvin Mayfield and his group have moved on from that venue. This change understandably disrupted plans for those aiming to catch live music there.

Key updates about live jazz in the area:

  • Irvin Mayfield has opened a new club on Bourbon Street above Felix’s Restaurant. He performs there a couple of times a week, which could be a new option for fans of his music.
  • Kermit Ruffins is now performing at different venues, including Saturdays and Sundays at his usual spots, along with other gigs throughout the week. Fans should verify current schedules before planning visits.

Practical tips for planning a music-focused day in New Orleans:

  • Always check the venue’s current calendar, as performer schedules can change frequently in New Orleans’ jazz scene.
  • Consider arriving early or making reservations if the venue allows, especially for popular acts, to ensure seating and avoid disappointment.
  • Explore alternative nearby live music options on Bourbon Street or Frenchmen Street, as many musicians perform multiple nights per week at different locations.

In summary, while the original plan to see Irvin Mayfield on Tuesday at Kermit’s Mother-in-Law Lounge is no longer possible, there are still opportunities to catch both Irvin Mayfield and Kermit Ruffins at other venues. Planning ahead and checking current schedules is essential to avoid similar disappointments.
