CEG Presents is proud to announce Nolafunk.com's 4th Annual Mardi Gras Ball on Saturday, February 13th at (Le) Poisson Rouge. The New Orleans style celebration will feature performances by New Orleans funk powerhouse Big Sam's Funky Nation; as well as a brass band recognized by Rolling Stone as “the ultimate in brass balls", a band who carries the brass-band concept and evokes vintage funk, classic rock and free improvisation, Bonerama; plus one of America's premiere roots stylist of the century, Tab Benoit. CEG and Nolafunk.com also presents concerts in NYC that showcase the Crescent City's heavyweight talent with Kirk Joseph's Backyard Groove with openers The Jambalaya Brass Band (1/28 at Sullivan Hall), Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue (2/19 at Highline Ballroom), Eric Lindell (2/20 at Sullivan Hall) and Walter “Wolfman" Washington-Joe Krown-Russell Batiste (3/11 at Sullivan Hall).

In the spirit of this annual, one of a kind event, guests are strongly encouraged to wear celebratory costumes and Mardi Gras finery at the ball. Throw beads will hang throughout the room and, in true Mardi Gras parade style, will be tossed out to the audience to wear during the show.
