The funkiest man in town turns 65 on the day after Christmas, and to celebrate, he’s hosting his annual birthday bash down at the Howlin’ Wolf. George’s little soirée has become a holiday tradition for many of our friends here at The Infirmary, dating back to the old Howlin’ Wolf (and the post-Katrina Baton Rouge birthday bash at the old Chelsea’s off of Highland Rd). Guests are always a who’s who of top flight New Orleans musicians in town for the Christmas holidays, happy to celebrate with the man that by many opinions, helped father the funk.
