Funky Butt Brass Band

They’re still saying St. Louis has the third largest Mardi Gras celebration, after New Orleans (duh) and Mobile. We can’t vouch for that statistic, but we do know it’s a crazy, funky, cool, raucous time of year. And it’s here! Look for us here and there during the big Mardi Gras party — at the Blues City Deli on Thursday, February 8 at 6 pm, the high-tone Mayor’s Ball at City Hall on Friday, February 9 at 7 pm (with our friends Sean Canan’s Voodoo Players), at Beale on Broadway on Parade Day, Saturday, February 10 at 3:30 pm (with a whole host of local talent) and wrapping things up with our annual Fat Tuesday show at Broadway Oyster Bar (with the Boudin Brothers Band). Grab your feathers, throw on your beads, lace up those dancing shoes and we’ll see you at Mardi Gras!
