Still celebrating Black Music Month by highlighting some unforgettable moments. 🎶✨ The Dew Drop Inn is no stranger to iconic pop-ups and special performances, and this one remains a favorite. During Jazz Fest two years ago, Anderson .Paak surprised the crowd by jumping in during Maurice “Mobetta” Brown’s set, and it was truly a moment!

How many Black music moments do you think we should highlight this month? Drop your favorites below—any year, any genre. 👇🏾

June is Black Music Month, so you already know we’ll be sharing more music clips, moments, and live experiences all month long. 🎶

We love a good live music moment, and honestly, we have so many clips from over the years that we still haven’t shared yet.

So we had to start with the queen, Teedra Moses , performing one of the songs we all love during the Floetry Say Yes Tour last month.

More music moments loading all June ☺️
