"Delmond Lambreaux plays a gig at D.B.A. when back in town from NYC; Annie and her band (then called the Bayou St. John Playboys) also play there." - Missy Frederick
"That was followed by a collective policy announced by music venues Tipitina’s, D.B.A., and the Maple Leaf Bar that they would require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of admission." - Clair Lorell
"I noted that D.B.A, named alongside other top New Orleans music venues, announced earlier this week that they would require patrons to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for admission; the policy was effective July 30." - Clair Lorell
"After 20 years running a bustling Frenchmen Street music venue, I saw Tom Thayer put the business and building up for sale in March 2020 but continue to own and operate D.B.A.; the original spot remains open for drinks indoors and out while it waits on updated live-music regulations before scheduling live performances." - Clair Lorell
"Once feared closed during the pandemic, I learned that D.B.A — a 20-year Frenchmen Street pillar — was placed on sale in April, but owner Tom Thayer has since abandoned that effort and shifted to streaming live shows and trying to turn the art market across the street into an outdoor music venue." - Clair Lorell
