Our next concert on Friday, June 26, 7-9 PM features jazz bossa nova artist Gabrielle Cavassa and her band in Downtown West Monroe. Gabrielle signed with Blue Note Records for her recent album “Diavola” which prompted “Forbes” magazine to describe Cavassa as “the next major force in jazz.” At times, her sultry vocals and shimmering Brazilian syncopation transport listeners to the 1950’s Amalfi Coast.✨💃

After winning the International Sarah Vaughn Vocal Competition in 2021, she was ushered into the spotlight through her collaboration with GRAMMY nominated saxophonist Joshua Redman

Ouachita Live is a monthly concert series that takes place the last Friday of the month in downtown West Monroe’s Alley Park from 7-9 PM. Please bring something for the donation jar to these free concerts to help support our artists. The 2026 season runs from April through September. Food trucks and spirits on-site. Rain locations are announced here closer to the event if needed.

Thanks to our June sponsors: New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, Choice Brands, Flying Heart Brewing & Pub-West Monroe, KEDM Public Radio, City of West Monroe and our presenting nonprofit Downtown West Monroe Revitalization Group.
