If current means still alive and still performs, then there's James Burton.

Allen Toussaint, I just saw him in NYC last week.
Susan Cowsill though not from NOLA lives there now.
Paul Sanchez has a decent national following
Rebirth
Big Sams Funky Nation
Anders Osborne
Bonerama

Theresa Anderson

And there are some with lots of international exposure, most on the thread.

Kim Carson and her band just toured in Europe

Marc Broussard- He's from Carencro (title of his first album). He's not huge but he's made a name for himself and has been touring nationally for a while now.
