If you can't go to Jazz Fest in late April / early May, then this might be the next best thing:

Fats Domino tribute concert to feature Chuck Berry, Little Richard and more
Posted by Keith Spera, Music writer, The Times-Picayune April 02, 2009 3:53PM

Matthew Hinton / The Times-Picayune
Fats Domino will be honored at a concert on May 30 in New Orleans that will feature Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Ozomatli, Keb' Mo', Junior Brown and Taj Mahal.

Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Ozomatli, Keb' Mo', Junior Brown and Taj Mahal are scheduled to perform at "The Domino Effect," a May 30 concert in honor of Fats Domino at the New Orleans Arena.

Promoters hope that Domino at least makes an "appearance" at the show, but don't necessarily expect him to perform. Even an appearance would be something of a coup, as the increasingly reclusive Domino declined to even attend a recent birthday party in his honor at Tipitina's.

The event is the brainchild of an Austin-based concert promotion and production company called Illuminated Entertainment LLC / Rozone Productions LLC. Illuminated initially planned "The Domino Effect" for July 2008 to benefit Brad Pitt's Make It Right Foundation, but that show did not materialize.

This time, a portion of the proceeds from the for-profit concert are to be donated to Saints quarterback Drew Brees' Brees Dream Foundation. The foundation's "Operation Kids: Rebuilding Dreams" campaign supports education and mentoring programs as well as rebuilds athletic fields and parks.

Tickets are $50 to $500 and go on sale Friday, April 3 at 10 a.m. at the New Orleans Arena box office and by calling 504.587.3822 or visiting The Domino Effect online. The Web site also contains information about discounted hotel and airfare rates.

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef
