New Orleans jazz-funk ensemble Naughty Professor will hit the road with Jurassic 5 emcee Chali 2na this fall.
The six-date run of shows will begin in Washington, DC on October 12 before wrapping up at the Leaf Festival in Black Mountain, NC on October 21. In addition, the artists are scheduled to appear together in New Orleans when the new Bear Creek Bayou Festival’s pre-party takes over the Joy Theater on September 29.
The upcoming dates will mark the latest collaboration between the six-piece outfit and the acclaimed rapper, who teamed up up for a shows at the NOLA Brewery & Tap Room and Blue Nile earlier this year. Chali 2na also recorded a song with Naughty Professor that is set to appear on the band’s next album, a guest-heavy affair that will include collaborations with Ivan Neville, Dave Shaw and Sasha Masakowski.
Tickets for Naughty Professor’s shows are now available via their website.
