He’s been a headliner at festivals and concert halls around the world including Carnegie Hall in New York City. Honoring the tradition of his predecessor, banjoist Danny barker, Don has kept alive Créole songs of New Orleans and has been honored with awards from Créole society and other Créole society for preserving this cultural treasure. He embodies all aspects of the unique melting pot of cultures that is New Orleans. This is evident through the list of artists he’s performed with. They include Wynton Marsalis, Eric Clapton, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Peggy Lee, Otis Taylor, Diana Krall, Bette Midler, Preservation Hall.
