An evening of true New Orleans music in celebration of Mardi Gras. Marcia Ball has plenty of surprising and thought-provoking stories to tell, and the two-fisted piano prowess, sweet and soulful vocals and superlative songs with which to tell them. The Subdudes are a living encapsulation of American music, a vibrant cauldron of sounds and some of the sharpest musicianship and ensemble playing you’ll ever hear. Tickets: $65 / $54 / $49
