Southern Comfort has invited some friends, including several New Orleans musicians, to perform in downtown St. Louis' Gateway Mall, 9th and Market, as part of the Taste of St. Louis event.

"The SoCo Music Experience gives our consumers an opportunity to hear unique New Orleans music and some of their favorite national acts, while simultaneously communicating the importance of responsibility and responsible drinking." The SoCo Music Experience is a four city music festival that is ending its tour in St. Louis. While at the event, attendees may make a voluntary donation to the SoCo Music Fund benefiting the musicians of New Orleans.
