NOLADrinks Show - Tourism industry in New Orleans. We discuss its importance to the economy and culture and how the foundation of the city’s tourism is based, in large part, on the hospitality and music industries. We talk with Jeremy Cooker of the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation, Erica ...We should all be concerned and dubious of Torres' motives with this venue (see: "Monastery NOLA" for another example)...
Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans
Hannah Kreiger-Benson, program coordinator at the Music & Culture Coalition of New Orleans, said Vaso operates one of the more robust music schedules on Frenchmen Street. On average, the venue posts about 100 gigs each month, with as many as five acts playing on a Saturday night and 13 gigs Friday through Sunday, she said.“If a band is playing there numerous times a month, that means that venue is a large chunk of their living,” Kreiger-Benson said. “A once-a-week gig can be a significant part of a musician’s living. This club appears to be really important to the musicians who play there.”
That’s true for the Jason Neville Funky Soul Band, which performs at Vaso every Thursday and Saturday, plus alternating Fridays. Lirette Neville, who’s part of her husband’s band, praised Villavaso for being loyal to acts that regularly attract crowds.
“People look for us when they come from out of town because they know we’re probably going to be there,” Neville said. “What made us stick with Vaso is Mr. Villavaso ... That is not something you find in New Orleans very often.”
The band relies on a percentage of the bar sales for income, Neville said. Over time, the following it has built up has paid off through strong turnout at Vaso. She worries that if Torres shuts down the club, its audience could go elsewhere in a competitive music and nightlife scene.
"You’re talking about bands that have families, that literally play at this club and have for years, and now they’ve got to fight and scuffle and find their way through all the rest of these hundreds of bands,” Neville said."
