DELTA MUSIC in ferriday, LA -- A hometown of legends....

Picture

Just as the landscape along the Mississippi River changes as it flows from Memphis down through the Delta, so do the musical traditions.  Gospel, blues, jazz, bluegrass, country and rock’n’roll -- all these musical genres and more are preserved and celebrated at the Louisiana Delta Music Museum in Ferriday, Louisiana.  Photo on this page is a salute to the Ealey Brothers who were inducted into our Hall of Fame on Saturday, June 10th.  Free admission.  Museum is open Wednesday through Friday, from 9 am until 4 pm.  New email added on this page is deltamusicferridayla@gmail.com. 

Did you know you could rent the ARCADE for your class reunion, special event or wedding.  Call our office for more details during our hours of operation listed above.  Our director, Linda Gardner, will be glad to help you.

If you missed the Ronnie Cox Show on July 8th, please go to facebook and like the "Friends of the Delta Music Museum" page and check out at least two videos from the show.  Aug. 12th is next show.
