Bryan Lee (incidentally, a white blind guy and an excellent musician), is still seen and heard from periodically in New Orleans (at all the major festivals, etc.), but I'm not sure if he's still living here. I may be wrong, but I don't think he has a regular day-in-day-out gig like he used to have the The Old Absinthe House.

The Old Absinthe House (fondly remembered as "The A-Bar," and long the only outpost for real blues on Bourbon Street) was sold a couple of years ago. I don't think that it was bought by Bryan ~ or by any musician or music lover, for that matter ~ because it is no longer a performance venue, but is instead now one of a chain of tourist-trap daiquiri outlets that permeates the French Quarter.

The loss/sale of the A-Bar is not Katina-related, by the way. That bit of damage was done before the storm hit.
