The Milk Run looks ahead to the next week of music in and around New Orleans, this week ranging as far afield as Gulf Shores.

[Updated] Jazz Fest and the birth of Clara Louise Rawls forced The Milk Run to take a hiatus, but this week it returns to look ahead to the next seven days of music in and around the New Orleans area. This week, it takes us as far afield as Gulf Shores. 

Friday: Partners N Crime, Cheeky Blakk and the Big Easy Bounce Band, Black Kold Medina, 10 p.m., Tipitina's: A few factors played a role in the resurgence of bounce: the post-Katrina preservation spirit, the emergence of Big Freedia, Sissy Nobby and Katey Red's EDM-centric sound, and the Big Easy Bounce Band, who gave the music a live band presentation for those who are still uneasy with turntable and computer-based music. (tickets) Also on Friday: Eugene, England in 1819, Furrows, 10 p.m., The Howlin' Wolf (tickets).
