The Danny Barker Banjo & Guitar Festival returns in January 2022. The festival, which honors the late, great Danny Barker (born January 13, 1909) opens with a Patron Party on January 12, and workshops, performances, and much more from January 13-15, at locations including UNO, NOCCA, Snug Harbor, and the New Orleans Jazz Museum. Danny Barker was a great friend to WWOZ in our early years, and we'll be celebrating him on the air all that week as well.
