The Krewe of Red Beans initiative, Fest Fest, is helping New Orleans musicians recoup lost work due to the many festivals that have been canceled in the last few weeks. They are hiring musicians to play front porch or backyard concerts around Orleans Parish during the month of October.
The fundraiser is called the "Lost My Gig Fund" and is being put on by Social Entertainment in partnership with Acadiana Center for the Arts, The Current, and Downtown Lafayette.
