Dr. John and the Neville Brothers at the Keswick

The fourth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans is on Saturday. There are plenty of good ways to mark the occasion. You could read Dave Eggers non-fiction tale Zeitoun, or comic artist Josh Neufeld's graphic novel A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge. Or this article from The Nation this part March, in which Princeton prof Melissa Harris-Lacewell and New Orleanian James Perry argue that the Obama administration owe a still-unpaid debt to The City That Care Forgot because it was Bush administration's mishandling of Katrina that set the Democrats on the path to victory in 2008. As they write, "as the waters rose, President Bush's approval sank."

Or, if you choose to remember Katrina - and celebrate the cultural distinctiveness of New Orleans - in a musical manner, you can head to the Keswick Theater in Glenside tonight to catch The Neville Brothers and Dr. John, two of the city's outspoken and outstanding musical treasures.  New Orleans' First Family of Funk and the piano man born Mac Rebennack are sure to have pointed things to say about the fragile state of their hometown, four years on and with a new hurricane season upon us, as they open their U.S. tour at the Keswick. Below, the Nevilles doing "Big Chief" and Gathering of the Vibes in 2008, and Dr. John performing "Such A Night" for Japanese TV from Abbey Road studios in London.
