Tipitina’s has announced an encore presentation of their Save Tip’s Benefit to air  Saturday, December 19 at 8 p.m. CST

The Tip’s team states: “The support has been beyond overwhelming. So many of you have asked for another ride through our storied history that we’ve decided to run it back and added in some newly discovered treasures. Please join us as our Mega-Concert hits the web for the final time – with even more never-before-seen performances, all to support Tipitina’s and help us during this critical time.

“We have set the Save Tip’s Finale for this Saturday, because it is Professor Longhair’s birthday! To celebrate this momentous occasion, we will include an additional performance by the master himself from the early days at Tipitina’s. In addition to more Fess, the Save Tip’s Encore will also feature unseen videos of the ‘Soul Queen of New Orlean’ Irma Thomas, legendary rocker Ani Di Franco, and more.

“Other incredible performances highlighted include the legendary Fats Domino, Willie Nelson, Dr. John, Jimmy Buffett, Widespread Panic, Wilco, Billy Strings, Jon Batiste & Stay Human Feat. Trombone Shorty, Dinosaur Jr., The Radiators Feat. Gregg Allman, Michael Franti & Spearhead, The Revivalists, Les Claypool’s Flying Frog Brigade, Preservation Hall Jazz Band Feat. Allen Toussaint, and many, many more. We have also added more backstage artist hang segments featuring firsthand stories from the legends who know Tipitina’s best.”

There will also be an opportunity to win prizes which included a rare, vintage, hand-pulled silk screen poster of Stevie Wonder & Ella Fitzgerals from Jazzfest 1978 signed and numbered by legendary photographer Michael P. Smith. Other prizes include a signed trombone by Trombone Shorty.
