Located at 2836 LaSalle Street, the Dew Drop Inn was at the heart of Black society & culture in New Orleans from the 1940s-1960s. It's now owned by Curtis Doucette, who's begun renovations to restore & revitalize the long neglected historic building. More: https://t.co/8zppCZNurk

We’re saddened by the loss of Robert Parker, best known for the hit “Barefootin’.” In 1966 he played the Apollo Theater with no shoes on; in 2009 the Stomp brought him to Lincoln Center for a tribute to Wardell Quezergue. Here he is with Dr. Ike in 2018: https://t.co/0PyvpB6b4E

RIP Dave. Besides helping create rock n roll (see video) he supported so many people. Watching him conduct a rehearsal was one of the most intense musical experiences of my life. He made every musician in the room give everything they had, start to finish. https://t.co/cn9dvGhSs2

The Stomp was devastated by the loss of longtime Stomp family member, Lil Buck Sinegal. Buck was an integral part of our concerts since the very beginning. Our deepest condolences to his friends & family. See message from Dr Ike on FB: https://t.co/xj7jJdcvCJ

Mac Rebennack was born in 1941. Dr. John was born in 1967. What happened in between would color his whole musical career. https://t.co/RIzi0zKHxE

RIP Roky Erickson, one of the greats. Here he is at the 2017 Ponderosa Stomp -- photo by Edgar Mata.
