Thais Clark performing at French Quarter Fest 2017, by Baylee Badawy / New Orleans Jazz Museum

Born and raised in the musically fertile neighborhood of New Orleans' Seventh Ward, Thais Clark is a blues singer of prestigious effect. A high-energy performer with a deep-rooted passion for the bawdy number popularized by the likes of Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, this vivacious singer-dancer can inhabit a song like no other.

This event is free and open to the public, sponsored by the Jazz Foundation of America.
