Summary
New Orleans has long provided visitors with scenes for the pursuit of what Erving Goffman called “action”—out‐of‐the‐ordinary experiences through which authenticity can be achieved. The founders of the Loose Marbles band came to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to make music at the scene where jazz was born. Their activities created a new scene on Royal Street in New Orleans. With growing success, the Marbles became absorbed into the local musical establishment, but their very success required them to quit the street scene, which subsequently subsided. The essay charts the tension between the apparently spontaneous creation of a “scene” defined by what participants consider authentic action and the inevitable routinization of such scenes in tourist economies.
