Downtown Alive with Live After Five


There are a lot of great things about Baton Rouge. We have amazing food, a diverse culture and we sure know how to party better than anyone around. But when you take all that, ball it up and mix in eclectic music … you get the best free party east of the Mississippi … Live After Five.

Live After Five is one of my favorite things to do in Downtown Baton Rouge. And when you kick off the season with a band like MoJEAUX, there are high hopes for Friday nights!

MoJEAUX is gaining a bit of a cult following. Besides playing weddings, they perform at area festivals and local bars. The group is truly something to see. They can go from playing the “Bunny Hop,” to “Devil Went Down to Georgia.” They give a little soul with “Proud Mary,” then switch it up with a little “Chicken Fried” or “Livin’ on a Prayer.”

The band utilizes every single member of the band, and it pays off because it keeps you jumping and jiving all night long. This is the second time they have opened up the Live After Five concert series, and the Downtown Business Association is smart to keep them coming back.

While I could hear MoJEAUX every week, there are plenty of great concerts coming to Galvez Plaza over the next few weeks. And remember, it’s fun, free and there’s plenty of room. See you out on the Plaza (and out on Third St. after the bands)!
