Anyone know any places we could go to hear some good Louisiana-style music? I was in NOLA earlier this year and experienced some great music there and am hoping for more of the same in Baton Rouge!
The Varsity Theatre, right at the north gates of LSU, is great. Check out BR's Gambit Weekly to see who's playing where.
John,
The best places for live Louisiana-style music in Baton Rouge are:
Chelsea's Cafe (http://chelseascafe.com)
The Varsity Theatre (http://www.varsitytheatre.com)

The music scene in Baton Rouge is kinda lame. Not nearly as fruitful as New Orleans. You may find a good show at Chelsea's Cafe http://chelseascafe.com/ or the The Varsity Theatre http://www.varsitytheatre.com/. Depends on the night. Same goes for Sullivan's Steakhouse http://sullivanssteakhouse.com/baton-rouge/events

If it's cajun style you're after, take a quick drive up to Breaux Bridge to Café Des Amis for their weekend Zydeco brunch. SO. MUCH. FUN.
Also, don't forget The Spanish Moon in BR.
