About Satchmo.com:

Satchmo.com (a.k.a. Louisiana Music Archive & Artist Directory; formerly known as New Orleans Virtual Library) is a personally run web site established in 1995 as a clearinghouse for news, links and general info related to New Orleans and Louisiana music.

Satchmo.com has grown dramatically over the years, and I continue to add new information and resources as time allows. Recent additions to the site include an Events & Festivals Guide and Louisiana Music at the Grammys, which features all Louisiana Grammy nominees and winners from day one (1958) through today.

Visit our companion site on MySpace - www.myspace.com/satchmo_dot_com - it is a quick and easy way to find Louisiana musical resources on myspace. You can also hook up with Satchmo.com at Facebook

Comments and questions can be e-mailed to gregh @ satchmo.com (remove blanks). Artist press kits, news, press releases, etc. can be e-mailed to me at the same address. If you would prefer to send materials by snail mail or fax, drop me a line to obtain contact info.
