Southside Aces

“A true authentic New Orleans dance-hall style band.”
– New Orleans Traditional Jazz Quarterly

For nearly two decades, the Southside Aces have performed traditional New Orleans jazz for weddings, festivals, clubs, and more—music furnished for all occasions. The Aces utilize the traditional canon for its sweetness and spice, joy and sorrow, whatever the mood should call for.

Since their first gig in August 2003, the Aces have released six albums, including their most recent—How Long Blues—featuring piano master Butch Thompson.

In New Orleans, the jazz tradition thrives off a wide array of styles. The Aces possess a diverse repertoire, with a roll call that includes the names of Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Hoagy Carmichael, Duke Ellington, and Bix Beiderbecke.
