Description
A favorite holiday tradition in New Orleans are the annual concerts at St. Louis Cathedral and St. Augustine Church. This year, concerts are virtual and can be watched from anywhere, cultivating new fans around the globe who can make plans to attend the free shows in person next year. This series is produced by French Quarter Festivals, Inc. (FQFI) as part of Holidays New Orleans Style in partnership with New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park.

The unrivaled Soul Queen of New Orleans (a title officially bestowed by local officials, no less) Irma Thomas ranks among Crescent City R&B's greatest and most enduring musical ambassadors, never enjoying the coast-to-coast commercial success of contemporaries like Aretha Franklin and Etta James but nevertheless breathing the same rarified air in the minds of many soul music aficionados.
