The Daze Between Band is back for another year in New Orleans, LA during Jazz Fest. For the first time, the annual musical summit will take over Tipitina’s on Wednesday, May 4th, 2022 with support from Butcher Brown. Tickets are on sale now.
The 2022 edition of the Daze Between Band—presented by Purple Hat Productions, Live For Live Music, and GMP Live—will be led by decorated guitarist Eric Krasno alongside a talented ensemble of NOLA legends and familiar collaborators. Krasno’s former Lettuce bandmates Adam Deitch (drums) Ryan Zoidis (saxophone), and Eric “Benny” Bloom (trumpet) will show up in force for the performance alongside powerhouse trumpeter/vocalist Jennifer Hartswick (Trey Anastasio Band) and New Orleans favorites George Porter Jr. (bass, The Meters), Ivan Neville (keys/vocals, Dumpstaphunk), and Erica Falls (vocals).
For several years, the rotating Daze Between Band ensemble has gathered during the “daze between” Jazz Fest weekends to keep music-lovers in New Orleans dancing and celebrating while the Fair Grounds go silent for a mid-week breather. Since its inception in 2017, the Daze Between Band has blossomed into one of the most celebrated events of the Jazz Fest season.
Previous versions of the Daze Between Band have featured appearances by Warren Haynes, Dave Schools, Oteil Burbridge, Scott Metzger, Jeff Sipe, Tom Hamilton, John Medeski, Robert “Sput” Searight, MonoNeon, Shira Elias, Grahame Lesh, Elliot Peck, Nate Werth, and more. With so much talent in the Big Easy during Jazz Fest, you never know who might show up to jump in with The Daze Between Band.
After several sold-out years at beloved French Quarter club One Eyed Jacks the Daze Between Band plotted its move to iconic Uptown haunt Tipitina’s in 2020. Now, after a series of postponements and Jazz Fest-less years, the Daze Between Band will finally make its Tipitina’s debut. All tickets purchased for the previously scheduled April 2020 date will be honored at the rescheduled show.
With the announcement of the inaugural Daze Between New Orleans festival in 2022, The Daze Between Band is now positioned as a victory lap following two full days of “daze between” festivities. Set to begin at Tipitina’s shortly after The String Cheese Incident closes out the second and final day of the new festival at Faubourg Brewing Company, fans can keep the party going into the night with The Daze Between Band on Wednesday, May 4th.
