Robin Barnes

Tuesday, October 6 | 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Robin Barnes, the acclaimed “Songbird of New Orleans,” is a Billboard Top 10 charting artist whose powerful voice bridges jazz, funk, soul, zydeco, Creole traditions, and Louisiana’s rich musical heritage. Her 2026 album, Louisiana Love, celebrates nine generations of Louisiana culture through collaborations with Ivan Neville, Big Freedia, The Soul Rebels, Rockin’ Dopsie Jr., and Cedric Watson. Barnes has performed at Jazz Fest, the Sundance Film Festival, London’s Royal Opera House, and beyond, delivering unforgettable performances rooted in joy, culture, and community. We’re thrilled to have her at the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music.
