Dew Drop Inn New Orleans T-Shirt

The Dew Drop in New Orleans is legendary as a location where black musicians could perform and stay at its hotel during the Jim Crow era. Notably, Ray Charles, Earl King, and James Booker lived at the Dew Drop for a time. I have recreated The Dew Drop Inn logo. This design is based on the sign that hung at 2840 LaSalle St. The original sign was for The Dew Drop Cafe. But the Dew Drop Inn was the name used by the music venue for its show posters during it's prime in the 1950s and 1960s. In the 50s and 60sThe Dew Drop was the mecca for Blues, Jazz, Early Rock & Roll and R&B in New Orleans. Everyone played there. James Brown, Tina Turner, Little Richard, Earl King, Freddie King, James Booker, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Big Joe Turner, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and Gatemouth Brown to name a few. In recent years there have been efforts to revitalize this incredible site of American music history.
