Our Story

The Community Brought
It Back

After Katrina, Chickie Wah Wah was more than a music venue — it was a symbol of New Orleans' resilience. When it faced closure, the community rallied together to purchase it for $910,000, ensuring the music never stopped on Canal Street.

Today, under the ownership of Dale Triguero, Chickie Wah Wah continues as a true listening room — hosting world-class artists in an intimate setting that honors the city's deep musical roots.
