Hi All--
My fiance and I are getting married in New Orleans this May and we're trying to find an oud player in the New Orleans area to perform at our ceremony.
We're having a difficult time finding someone...anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Ben

As far as I know, there's no one in New Orleans. I know one classical guitarist/lutenist that dabbles in the oud a little bit.
I've spent a lot of time there and was living there last year for a while, it seemed like I was still the only oud player.
I still go down there periodically, though, and it might be possible to work something out. When in May is your wedding?
