Sweet Lorraine’s<\/p><\/div>\n

3. If Stevie Wonder says so<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you wanted an opinion on the best jazz music in town, Stevie Wonder is a man you\u2019d trust, right?

6. Siberian sludge metal<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Something that\u2019s definitely not your standard New Orleans fare is Siberia on St. Claude Avenue. Just like Siberia, this place is pretty out there; heavy rock, sludge metal and R&B from both established and up and coming bands.<\/p>\n
