Batiste Family performs at BB King’s Club
New Orleans every Tuesday at 5:00 & 8:00 PM
NEW ORLEANS – Select members of the Batiste Family will perform regularly on Tuesday evenings at the BB King’s Blues Club in New Orleans, 1104 Decatur Street. The sets which are powered by Damon J. Batiste & NOSACONN Inc. are 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM nightly (subject to change).
“B.B. King’s is the best restaurant, bar, and live music club in the French Quarter. We’re more than the Blues at BB King’s. We’re classic soul, rock and roll, and great signature drinks that will get your party rolling.”

Headed by Louisiana Hall of Fame inductee David Batiste (David Batiste and The Gladiators) who was a pioneer of “New Orleans funk” will be joined by sons Damon, Russell, Ryan, and Jamal Batiste; and a new edition in grandson Christopher Prosper Batiste on select nights for a blast of down-home funk and Rhythm ‘n Blues at the Club. With approximately 25 members performing professionally, the Batiste family boasts of being “Louisiana’s largest musical family.”
At last week’s show; Michael Batiste, the father of Jon Batiste who serves as band director of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert sat in for a couple of numbers with the family brought back fond memories of the group’s performance from the 80’s. And on one number, the musical chair exchange between Jamal and Russell on a single drum kit was simply magical!
