I am NOLA by marriage, a NY lady married to a Katrina 2005 survivor. We now live in the French Quarter. I am about a block away from Doreen's Corner. And I want to add - aside from her phenomenal musicianship...she is one of the loveliest, sweetest people you'd ever meet. For those of you planning to visit New Orleans? Do not miss this great lady. She is truly a treasure...
I've met Doreen, and she is as you see her, playing amazingly and kind and generous. If you haven't visited New Orleans, you should. You'll find her and the band on Royal Street Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Quite possibly the most beloved woman on this planet and rightfully so. She’s a legend and so humble. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world, Doreen. ❤️
It's actually on my bucket list to see this woman play in New Orleans. As a music educator, I have shown videos of her to my students & they ALL love her!
Love Doreen! We met on her famous corner in New Orleans in the French Quarter. She is the Clarinet Queen. She deserves all of this recognition. I can't wait to see her again in person to give her a big hugs.
Doreen, you probably won’t see this, but I just wanted to say that you quite literally changes my life!! Watching you play taught me so many things and you’re just such an inspiration to me and my music. I’m so happy for you!!
Doreen Ketchens, possibly the greatest bastion of old school jazz clarinet alive today, playing one of the most important jazz venues of all time. It could only have been phenomenal
Bravoooo!!!😃 Yes ma'am...you go Doreen! Congratulations! Dreams DO come true, but YOUR VISIONS will take you to Carnegie Hall and around the world. You are an awesome musician.👍 I discovered and subscribed to you when Covid-19 had us on lock down in 2020. I am sooo happy for you.
My eyes are welling up watching this. I love that this wonderful woman is getting to live her dream and I pray that she can continue on and bless the other stages on her list. Long live Doreen Ketchens.
Doreen! This is so awesome. I am so glad that you got to go play at The Kennedy Center. So amazing and so very happy for you my friend. It surely isn't not all for nothing!
True. Clarinetist Doreen is not glamorous. But she is beautiful and beautifully talented. She also comes across as appreciative of opportunity. And boy, did she run with it!
She is finally getting the recognition she deserves, Absolutely amazing player who should be playing on BROADWAY.
She'd be wasted in a broadway pit.....she belongs on the stage, not below it.
She already plays a much more important place than Broadway or the Kennedy center. She is the heart beat of New Orleans!
Congratulations mom!!!! Me, Kimothy & Jaleel are you proud of you!!! We love you so much!!!! And miss you so muchhhh!!!!
can't think of anyone more deserving both as a person and musician
Well deserved Queen
Exactly
