Southern Comfort Bed and Breakfast (New Orleans, Louisiana)

The lineup is finally here! It’s bigger and across more genres than I’ve ever seen. There is  definitely something for everyone.  Don’t forget the Southern Comfort Bed and Breakfast can acquire tickets for our guests and friends at the gate price ( $43) which avoids the Ticketmaster fees. Big savings! Just let me know via email, deadline is March 15th.
Some of the 2011 Jazz Fest headliners are:

Jimmy Buffett – Bon Jovi  – John Mellencamp - Kid Rock- Willie Nelson – Robert Plant – Lauryn Hill – Jeff Beck – Tom Jones – Sonny Rollins – Cyndi Lauper – John Legend – Bobby Blue Bland –  Arlo Guthrie – Fantasia – Kenny G -  Gregg Allman – Robert Cray – Ricky Skaggs. I may go fight the crowds for Cyndi, Robert Plant and Keb Mo.
