Live at the Vapaille

Hear it up close.

A listening room built around the bandstand: trad jazz, Creole strings, brass, gospel, and Don Vappie himself, close enough to see the fingers move. Full bar at your back, dance floor when the night calls for it.

The Room

Built around the bandstand.

Most rooms add music. This one starts with it. The stage came first, the sound is tuned for acoustic instruments and voices, and the seating is drawn close, the way the music was meant to be passed along.

Curated by the Vappie family. Don plays here regularly, so on many nights you can hear the master himself, and the door is open to anyone who wants to feel true New Orleans culture.
