New Orleans is a city of sounds, and one of them has been around for almost 200 years: The Calliope. | WWLTV

10 International Circus Hall Of Fame Calliope and Mechanical Music Festival, June 18, 2022

If you've spent any time in the French Quarter, you're familiar with the sounds of the Steamboat Natchez's calliope, but you probably don't know who's behind it. Meet Miss Calliope, Debbie Fagnano, arguably New Orleans' most listened-to musician! Her songs fill the air along the Mississippi River three times a day, including the area right outside WWOZ's new studio on the fifth floor of the Jax Brewery building. Learn more about her story and how the calliope works in the video below! | WWOZ 90.
