Ado Soul & the Tribe are a New Orleans soul band whose sound has earned them the tag "the South's Most Soulful Sound" -- a blend of traditional New Orleans rhythm, funk, R&B, and Afrofuturist soul anchored by roaring brass and deep pocket grooves. The group is fronted by Ado Soul, whose gravelly vocal growl traces back to a childhood spent performing gospel alongside his father, a pastor and singer, across Louisiana. He honed his craft at Xavier University of Louisiana and has built a reputation as a performer who leaves nothing on the table. Essence Magazine named him one of their "New & Next Artists" in 2023, and the band performed at the 2025 BET Awards Red Carpet Pre-Show. Full bar on-site. No check-in required. Entry is free, with standing room and some seating at first come, first serve basis. Doors open at 9 pm. Join us in Good Measure. Come for the music. Stay for the night.

Gov't Majik is a New Orleans collective led by bassist and co-founder Bru Bruser and fronted by vocalist Ten Spencer. Self-described as "The Dirty South Afro-Beat Arkestra," the band blends the music of Fela Kuti and other Afrobeat and Afrofunk pioneers with the funk, jazz, rap, and rock and roll of New Orleans, landing somewhere between Fela, OutKast, and Kool & the Gang. Founded in 2005, the band made their Jazz Fest debut in 2007 and returned to the festival stage in 2026. Their 2023 EP The Bass Age features Parliament-Funkadelic saxophonist Greg Thomas. Full bar on-site. No check-in required. Entry is free, with standing room and some seating at first come, first serve basis. Doors open at 9 pm. Join us in Good Measure. Come for the music.

Brasinola plays the music of Brazil's Tropicalia movement with a New Orleans rhythm underneath. The band draws on the late 1960s and 1970s heyday of that Brazilian sound -- its blend of samba, funk, folk, and psychedelia -- while grounding everything in the feel of the city where they perform. As bassist and co-founder Ron Johnson has put it, "the NOLA in our name is the foot of the New Orleans drummer." A longtime presence on the city's club circuit, the band first made their name at the Maple Leaf Bar and have been a Frenchmen Street fixture since. Full bar on-site. No check-in required. Entry is free, with standing room and some seating at first come, first serve basis. Doors open at 9 pm. Join us in Good Measure. Come for the music. Stay for the night.
