Gasa Gasa Reopens, Sparking Fresh Hope for Live Music in New Orleans - Eater New Orleans
"New Orleans musician Branden Kempt, known professionally as Branden Daniel with his band Branden Daniel and the Chics, bought Gasa Gasa with a group of partners late last year. The reopened venue hosted its first show on January 28, with local band Juno Dunes performing inside while ticket holders viewed the show on monitors from the patio outside, according to My Spilt Milk. The team has since added stand up comedy nights in the courtyard and hosted more concerts streamed outside, opening for indoor service last Friday for the first time since March 2020 (bars were allowed to resume limited indoor service on February 19). On a night without live music scheduled, limited indoor seating may be available, but concerts are still streamed to the courtyard, for now. Outside, the alley bar offers daily happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m, and Daddy Hot Bird, a popular hot chicken food truck, is scheduled to roll up Wednesday and Friday nights." - Clair Lorell
