Opened in 1993 by Donna Poniatowski Sims and her husband Charlie Sims, Donnas became a vital gathering place for locals and musicians and earned a lasting reputation as the citys unofficial brass band headquarters. The venue was a cornerstone of New Orleans live music culture, regularly hosting brass bands, traditional jazz musicians, and Mardi Gras Indians in an atmosphere that reflected the citys deep-rooted musical traditions. After nearly two decades as a cultural hub for generations of musicians and music lovers, Donnas closed around 2010, leaving behind a powerful legacy in New Orleans music history that continues to be remembered and celebrated. Chickie Wah Wah brings Donnas back to life with a monthly residency featuring the best-of-the-best NOLA musicians.
