BIG EASY BLOWOUT: MARDI GRAS CELEBRATIONS TO BENEFIT NEW ORLEANS CHARITIES

The City of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast have given the rest of the world tremendous gifts of music, culture, cuisine, art, and much more. Relief efforts have continued since Hurricane Katrina but it hasn’t been enough to get the area functioning to full capacity and allow all residents to return to a sense of normalcy and comfort. To help continue the relief effort, Symbiotic Music Productions and Crescendo Artists announce a Mardi Gras Benefit Celebration with the Big Easy Blowout. All proceeds from the events will benefit the New Orleans Musicians Clinic and Tipitina’s Foundation.

The two consecutive events will take place in Colorado on January 25 in Boulder and January 26 in Denver. The musical lineup will feature Page McConnell (Phish), Russell Batiste (Funky Meters, PBS), Papa Mali (Rhythm Council), Big Chief Monk Boudreaux (The Wild Magnolias, Golden Eagles) and Reed Mathis (Tea Leaf Green, JFJO). The events will have other fundraising aspects, Mardi Gras décor, and activities (including silent auctions, raffles, drink specials, food drive, New Orleans themed artwork and more). Euforquestra will support on both shows.
