Cafe Negril on Frenchmen Street is continuing its “Bring Back Bob” campaign — a community-driven effort to restore the iconic Bob Marley mural that watched over the venue for decades.

The Noah Young Band began in New Orleans in 2015 and has steadily carved out a space in both the local and national scenes with its high-energy performances and innovative sound. Drawing from the deep well of New Orleans funk while pushing boldly into new territory, the group fuses earthy grooves with Noah Young’s adventurous compositional voice—resulting in music that is at once deeply familiar and refreshingly forward-thinking. Whether you’re dancing or listening intently, the band’s sound creates a unique duality: grounded yet exploratory, accessible yet cerebral.
