Kermit Ruffins
New Orleans is the only place on the planet that could have produced native son Kermit Ruffins. Whether hes blowing trumpet on a Louis Armstrong classic or one of his own hot numbers, Ruffins embraces the tune with the true spirit of the city. Ruffins music, like New Orleans itself, swings hard with a big heart as it remembers tradition and the importance of good-timin fun. Born on Dec. 19, 1964 (sharing the birthdate with New Orleans legend Professor Longhair!), Ruffins is a modern hipster in possession of an old soul.
