About Jan Ramsey

I\'m passionate about New Orleans as the most musical and most interesting city in America, and OffBeat Magazine and its associated media is the result of that passion. Our goal and strategy is to do the best possible job representing our music and culture to both locals and readers all over the planet, while helping our clients\' businesses succeed. At the same time, we strive to be honest in our presentation of editorial content, whether it be in print or online. My personal goal is to convert everyone to appreciate and treasure the unique culture of this city and state with the media we produce and maintain, and with activities and programs that promote and market it. My long-term goal is to make sure that OffBeat continues its mission as a cultural icon and to expand what we do to showcase our music. My dream is to help establish a world-class music museum in New Orleans.
