Sunny Side (New Orleans)

Sunny Side is a New Orleans-based jazz band inspired by early jazz greats like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, and Fats Waller. The band takes its name from the 1930 jazz standard “On the Sunny Side of the Street” by Fats Waller and Jimmy McHugh—a fitting tribute to the joyful spirit they bring to every performance.

Formed in 2019, Sunny Side consists of seasoned musicians who have been playing together in various New Orleans jazz projects since 2017. They deliver a New Orleans-style jazz experience featuring rich harmonies, a driving rhythm section, and a dynamic vocalist and dancer who brings the music to life. Their shows are immersive and high-energy—audiences are encouraged to dance, sing along, and soak in the joyful atmosphere that defines their hometown. Check em out here: https://sunnysidejazz.com/
