Everyone from Eric Clapton to Aerosmith have made stops here over the years. HOB has something for everyone, including a great late night scene after the live music stops. The joint is always jumping at the Wolf, arguably the best live rock 'n roll venue in the Big Easy. Bringing in a great mixture of local and national acts, the Howlin' Wolf continues to pick up the slack that other clubs leave. New ownership has given the Wolf a breath of fresh air, as the club now has a hipper feel to it.
Shows normally go way past midnight.
Currently home to John Carey and the Blues Party, the Hard Rock soon hopes to have nightly live music to accompany its rock 'n roll memorbilia. 501 River Rd. When you feel like hearing the cutting edge of New Orleans sound, take a trip downtown and venture into El Matador. A relative newcomer to the Esplanade area, El Matador has quickly established itself as a great intimate club to hear live local bands jam the night away. Check out the live Flamenco show every Saturday evening for a taste of Spain in the Crescent City.
