Welcome to Open Ears Music

The Open Ears Music Series consists of weekly concerts of interesting music, often of the improvised variety.. The performances are on Tuesdays , upstairs at The Blue Nile , 532 Frenchmen St. NOLA

All shows are scheduled to start at 9 PM, and will likely be finished by midnight or shortly thereafter, so don’t be too late.

There is no cover charge. We want everyone that wants to listen to be able to. There is an encouraged donation. Whatever you can contribute is appreciated. All money donated will go to the artists, so please be generous.

Open Ears Music Series is now on Tuesdays

Posted by jeff on Jun 30 2008 | News

We will take a short summer break the first two weeks of July, and then will come back on a new night starting July 15.

Our move to Tuesday nights was done in the interest of having the best possible listening environment. There is no music downstairs at the Blue Nile on Tuesdays. This will allow us to enjoy quiet and subtle presentations with out the audio bleed from downstairs. Of course we can still have not quiet and not subtle presentations as well.

We’d like to thank Jesse and Ollie and the Blue Nile for having the vision to open the club an extra night purely in the interest of having the best possible listening experience. Please reward their commitment to good music with your continued support of the Open Ears Music Series.

Thanks,
Jeff, Justin, and Dan

non-Audio Archive 7 May 08

Posted by jeff on May 12 2008 | Charlie Kohlmeyer, Eric Traub, Jim Markway

Unfortunately, the Jim Markway Trio performance on May 8, 2008 did not get recorded. If you missed it, and I am pretty sure you missed it, it is your loss. They sounded great. See you next week.
