Hub Club

David Guarisco, 2014: “My Dad, Peter D. Guarisco (known as ‘Hub Club Pete’), owned the Hub Club in Morgan City, a restaurant and bar up front and a dancehall in the back. Papa Celestine and Tony Almarica(sic) and other bands from New Orleans to Houston played for dances on the weekends. It was located at the the corner of Ditch Avenue and Highway 90 in Morgan City. It closed in 1972.”  Dave Bartholomew, 2008: “I PLAYED IN ONE PLACE WITH DIFFERENT BANDS. THE HUB CLUB IN MORGAN CITY LOUISIANA. IT WAS THE RIGHT CLUB WHERE ALL THE GREAT BANDS OF NEW ORLEANS PLAYED. LIKE A 12 OR 15 PIECE BANDS WOULD PLAY THERE AND I PLAYED THERE WITH DIFFERENT BANDS.
