NEW ORLEANS Dale Triguero, the owner of the music club Chickie Wah Wah died of complications from heart surgery he underwent last month.
Triguero is best known for turning a non-descript building on Canal Street into one of the best-known music clubs in town. The long and narrow venue is unmistakably New Orleans, filled with Dr. Bob images and the ever-present Terrebonne Baptist Church sign that hangs on its small stage.
Chickie Wah Wah often featured some of New Orleans’ marquee musicians, but Triguero is also credited for giving many new artists their start.
