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 on a flatbed truck in Apple Valley, the Aces have released six albums, including their most recent—How Long Blues—featuring piano master Butch Thompson.
