Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Allen Toussaint will embark on a joint tour beginning October 8 in East Lansing, MI. Instead of performing two individual sets, the New Orleans establishments will collaborate for one performance.

On the tour, Pres Hall band leader Ben Jaffe said, “After all these years of playing together in New Orleans and coming to the same festivals here and there around the world, it is amazing that we never hit the road as a package before.”

“I’ve been playing with the guys in Preservation Hall around New Orleans since the 1960’s, so I’m really excited to finally get out on the road and perform together with them every night on a tour,” Toussaint added.
