Get ready for a non-stop Mardi Gras celebration featuring two Louisiana legends – The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas – – and a special Valentine’s Day After Party with Red Hot Ramble!

Grammy Award-winning pioneers of the modern New Orleans brass band movement, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band are recognized worldwide as an unstoppable musical machine. Celebrating over 45 years since their founding in 1977, the group has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres, including bebop jazz, funk, and R&B/soul. This unique sound, described by the band as a “musical gumbo,” has allowed the Dirty Dozen to tour across five continents and more than 30 countries, record 12 studio albums, and collaborate with a range of artists from Modest Mouse to Widespread Panic to Norah Jones.

Led by Nathan Williams as songwriter, founder, vocalist, and accordionist, the Cha Chas provide a direct connection to zydeco’s storied pioneers such as Clifton Chenier and Boozoo Chavis. Along with his family band, Williams plays zydeco, fast and furious accordion-driven dance music of Southern Louisiana with his brother Dennis Paul on guitar, cousin Alan Williams on bass, Jaston George on rubboard, and Keith Sonnier on drums. Their uplifting, roots-inspired music is served up with a distinctive Caribbean lilt that reaches back to the very beginnings of Louisiana Creole culture.
