Adjuah grew up in New Orleans and trained at NOCCA and Berklee College of Music. He is the grandson of Big Chief Donald Harrison Sr. and the nephew of the saxophonist Donald Harrison Jr.
He also builds his own tools: the Adjuah Trumpet and the Chief Adjuah Bow are his designs. He calls his approach Stretch Music, a mix that ignores genre lines, and runs a label and app under that name.
Doors Open Two Hours Before the Early Set
Doors open at 6:00 PM for the 8:00 PM set and at 10:00 PM for the 10:30 PM set. Every seat is first come, first served, so the early arrivals choose the tables.
Come with your whole party. Late or separate arrivals may not sit together, and parties of eight or more need a group package booked with the club in advance.
