HUKA Entertainment is proud to welcome The Meter Men featuring Page McConnell of Phish to The Joy Theater on April 24th and 25th, 2015. This very special two-night run will take place during the first weekend of New Orleans’ venerable Jazz and Heritage Fest. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, November 14th at 11 am CT.
The Meter Men, featuring original members of The Meters, includes drummer Zigaboo Modeliste, guitarist Leo Nocentelli and bassist George Porter, Jr. Formed in 1965, The Meters pioneered the New Orleans funk scene and have influenced countless musicians with their identifiable sound. Joining The Meter Men is keyboardist Page McConnell of Phish, who headlined the New Orleans Jazz Fest this past April. Phish were allocated an unprecedented three-hour set on the first Saturday of the festival, a rarity for Jazz Fest performers. One year later, McConnell returns to the Crescent City for another groundbreaking performance – this time with seminal funk band, The Meter Men.
