Howie Kaplan is the owner of New Orleans bar and music venue The Howlin’ Wolf. We sit down with Howie to get straight into his journey from South Florida record stores and early ticketing days to taking over The Howlin’ Wolf in 2000, the standout shows he’s hosted , and why the live-music experience—and New Orleans’ culture at large—still matters more than ever.
We also dig into the tough stuff: how scalpers and broken ticketing systems hurt fans, artists, and independent venues; the wins from Save Our Stages; and what it really takes to build music infrastructure here at home. Plus, stories from managing Rebirth Brass Band and helping The Revivalists scale, the ripple effect venues have on local economies, and a cautiously optimistic take on the future of music in New Orleans. If you care about live music, this one’s for you.
