The New Orleans Ragtime Festival presents Seva Venet & The Storyville Stringband

Since 2006 Seva has led his own jazz band that features the 6-string banjo in a traditional New Orleans jazz ensemble and a string band, the Storyville String Band, that specializes in traditional New Orleans jazz but in a string dominated acoustic ensemble (bass, guitar, Hawaiian (slide), mandolin, violin, ukulele and clarinet). Seva’s dedication to traditional New Orleans Jazz, especially through teaching, concerts and presentations of New Orleans string bands, the banjo in New Orleans and the music and legacy of Danny Barker has become what he is known and appreciated for the most.
