The Tipitina’s Foundation is bringing Southern comfort to New England with its upcoming “From the Big Easy to the Back Bay” event scheduled for Aug. 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Dillon’s Boston. All proceeds will go toward supporting music education in New Orleans and around the world.
The event includes the viewing of the Saints vs. Patriots pre-season game, as well as performances by Orlando Gilbert, Revon Andrews, Brian Richburg and Ian Kelly, Tipitina’s Foundation interns who are currently enrolled in Berklee College of Music’s five-week summer performance program. The evening will also feature New Orleans-inspired cocktails, beer and appetizers, and gifts from PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans and Defend New Orleans.
Tickets, which are $30 per person and will serve as a donation to the foundation, include two drink tickets for an Abita beer or a hurricane.
