Where the fictional musicians jam in New Orleans, from Frenchmen Street to Uptown

The New Orleans music scene is a huge part of the fabric of HBO’s Treme. Some of its main characters are musicians, including gig trombone player Antoine Batiste, wannabe rapper Davis McLary, violin sensation Annie Tee, and struggling busker Sonny. And nearly always, they are shown at venues that actually exist and thrive in New Orleans. Some of the venues featured in the show are now gone — Prime Example, Bottom Line, Donna’s, Deja Vu strip club, and Sound Cafe among them. But many remain for those who want a taste of the city’s thriving jazz and music scene.

Head here to find the New Orleans restaurants featured on the show.
