A New Orleans Christmas returns to Boise for its second consecutive year!

After a sold-out debut, A New Orleans Christmas is back in Boise, bringing the spirit, soul, and swing of the Crescent City to Boise once again.

Featuring San Francisco Bay Area trumpeter Jeff Bordes and Portland vocalist Jackie Gage, this festive celebration captures the magic of New Orleans during the holidays, where timeless Christmas classics meet the infectious rhythms of jazz, blues, gospel, and second-line brass band traditions. 

Joining Jeff and Jackie is an outstanding Mountain West all-star rhythm section led by pianist Alex Sjobeck.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan of New Orleans music or simply looking for a fresh and inspiring way to celebrate the season, A New Orleans Christmas promises an evening that’s soulful, joyful, and uniquely unforgettable.

Come celebrate the holidays the New Orleans way, where every song swings, every solo tells a story, and every audience leaves smiling.

Show includes Student Feature Opener!
