Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!
Jackson Hall
Get ready for a Mardi Gras celebration worthy of the Crescent City. 
 
Grammy Award–winning pianist and bandleader Jon Cleary, long at the forefront of the New Orleans musical landscape, ignites the stage with his powerhouse ensemble the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. 
 
Joining the celebration is New Orleans–based Afro-Indigenous funk collective Cha Wa, described by PopMatters as “a grand gumbo of singing, intoxicating rhythms, and deep funk grooves.” Together they’ll bring the spirit of New Orleans to Jackson Hall.
