6th Annual Nolafunk.com Mardi Gras Ball @ the Hiro Ballroom in NYC
Saturday, Feb 18- Sunday, Feb 19, 2012

Mardi Gras. The mere mention of these two words convey thoughts of wild celebrations, beads flying through the air, feathered hats, free-spirited dancing and a lot of booze and smiles. Nolafunk.com will help create this scene with your help. We’ll provide you with masks, hats, white cloths and beads. Lots and lots of BEADS! So bring your Mardi Gras outfits and your will to dance. The 6th Annual Mardi Gras Ball might be the best yet.

BONERAMA

Even in a city that doesn’t play by the rules, New Orleans’ Bonerama is something different. They can evoke vintage funk, classic rock and free improvisation in the same set; maybe even the same song. Bonerama has been repeatedly recognized by Rolling Stone, hailed as “the ultimate in brass balls” and praised for their “…crushing ensemble riffing, human-feedback shrieks and wah-wah growls.”

KERMIT RUFFINS & THE BBQ SWINGERS

New Orleans is the only place on the planet that could have produced native son Kermit Ruffins. Whether he's blowing trumpet on a Louis Armstrong classic or one of his own hot numbers, Ruffins embraces the tune with the true spirit of the city. Ruffins' music, like New Orleans itself, swings hard with a big heart as it remembers tradition and the importance of good-timin’ fun.

Past Mardi Gras Ball performers include Dr. John, Anders Osborne, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Bonerama, Eric Lindell, Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, Soul Rebels Brass Band and Tab Benoit.
