School Groove

WWOZ is thrilled to present School Groove - a series of live in-studio performances by middle and high school age students from the Greater New Orleans area. Each School Groove presentation brings young New Orleans musicians to the studio to perform on live radio.

School Groove is supported by the Gia Maione Prima Foundation, Entergy, and a Wisner Grant donation through the City of New Orleans.
