If these walls could talk — Municipal Auditorium
Muni.
That short word conjures up so many memories in Shreveport and around this region. Of course, it stands for our Municipal Memorial Auditorium. Kind of a boring name. Sounds like a place to hold a generic civic meeting in Any City, USA.
Muni is better. It rolls off the tongue and has kind of a charming nickname feel. The place deserves a nickname.
The broad-shouldered building was built in the late 1920s and dedicated on Armistice Day in 1929 in honor of those who served in The World War — just before The World War's sequel. It's the classic local example of "They Don't Build 'Em Like They Used To." Thank you, Sam Wiener, Shreveport architect.
Muni holds one hundred times as many stories as it has bricks. Ask anyone from these parts.
The first show in my memory was the super band, Chicago, in the early 1970s. I also was in the audience to hear perform (among others) ZZ Top, Bob Dylan, Andre Crouch, Jack White and Garrison Keillor (with the internationally broadcast Prairie Home Companion show).

And it is not just because of the great music he's made as solo artist or with the White Stripes or any of the other bands he's been apart of over the years. I think his work as a producer and music historian may be his greatest gift he's given the musical world.
Third Man Records not only gives independent artists a chance to show their talents on a national stage but Jack is buying old musical libraries and breathing fresh life into artist once forgotten. From Mississippi John Hurt to the Memphis Jug Band, White has given a new generation the chance to discover the roots of American music and learn the story of our nation through its culture and music.
That's why I'm super pumped that Jack White will be opening the second leg of his 'Boarding House Reach' tour in Shreveport. Everyone of Jack's solo tunes is a love letter to the music of the past. From the Supremes to Elvis Presley to Leadbelly, you can hear the fabric of America in White's songs. He's the bridge that brings together centuries of music.
With that all being said, last time Jack was in town, he sold out the Municipal.
