Our Take: If you don’t know who Kermit Ruffins is, well you should. Gaining national popularity after his appearances on the HBO show Treme, Kermit has been leading the charge of New Orleans brass music. In addition to his great music and infectious smile, Kermit is a true supporter of the New Orleans community. Whether charity events, free haircuts for neighborhood children, or other community work, Kermit is there. Irwin Mayfield, one of New Orleans’ great trumpet players also has been making appearance at the Lounge. Go there!
