NOLA Community Blog

New Orleans is the city that lives in you, no matter where you live. And this website is for all of us who don’t live in New Orleans to stay connected with the Big Easy. Welcome to Church of New Orleans!

 

Happy Birthday, John Boutté!

John Dunlop

Singer John Boutté was born in New Orleans on November 3, 1958. Boutté was influenced by the local culture of the 7th Ward, including jazz funerals and Mardi Gras parades, as well as by the R&B music he grew up listening to. He is the younger brother of the jazz and gospel singer Lillian Boutté, and he started his professional career by joining her on tour soon after Stevie Wonder recommended that he pursue a career in music. He is known for diverse music style that goes beyond jazz to R&B, gospel, Latin, and blues. Boutté achieved great notoriety for his "Tremé Song", which was the theme song of HBO's series, Tremé. Happy Birthday, John!
