The lineup for the Young Leadership Council’s 14th annual Wednesday at the Square concert series has been announced, and it’s shaping up to be a first-rate affair.

The Young Leadership Council (YLC) and New Orleans City Council President Stacy Head revealed the talent roster this afternoon at Mike’s on the Avenue, where musical guest Dave Jordan made a surprise appearance.

The 12-week series kicks off March 6 with a performance by Anders Osborne and the Colin Lake Band and will conclude with a special, yet-to-be-announced finale May 22. In between will be sets by the Revivalists (shameless plug alert: They’re performing at OffBeat‘s 25th Anniversary Best of the Beat Awards this Friday, January 18), The Meters Experience featuring Leo Nocentelli, Marcia Ball, Irvin Mayfield and Kermit Ruffins, and Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, among others.

A bit about YLC’s Wednesday on the Square: The concert series is among the city’s most popular spring offerings, with 6,000 people in attendance weekly. Along with the live entertainment, local merchants and artists sell various art, jewelry and craft wares.

The series, hosted in Lafayette Square Wednesdays from 5-8 p.m., is one of the YLC’s biggest fundraisers and provides a majority of the funding for the nonprofit’s various community projects through its food and beverage sales.

A detailed lineup follows.
