Rainbow Media, Fuse and MSG Networks are making the House of Blues in New Orleans the place to be for CTAM Summit attendees on Oct. 19.
They're hosting "Voodoo, Blues & Zuzus," a party celebrating the Crescent City's musical traditions and cultural heritage and aiding the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music.
JD & The Straight Shot, fronted by Cablevision CEO Jim Dolan, will serve as master of ceremonies, along with Don Draper himself, Jon Hamm, who plays the creative ad genius on AMC's three-time Emmy winner for best drama, Mad Men.
All 2010 CTAM Summit attendees are invited to attend the Big Easy blowout from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. (CT), featuring legendary New Orleans musical icons and local flavors from some of New Orleans favorite chefs. (Zuzus is Creole for sweets or desserts.)
