#mardigras — Public Fediverse posts

Sent a few #CarnivalVortex picks off for tomorrow’s #ListeningClub

Weird since I’ve never lived anywhere with a big #carnival tradition. So I could have just spectated but that would be no fun. So I did the tourist thing and went to New Orleans

Even though it’s totally not the right season for #MardiGras

The best restaurants to celebrate Mardi Gras in L.A. https://www.diningandcooking.com/restaurants/13513/ #Cajun&CreoleRestaurant #Cajun&CreoleRestaurants #customer #darrow #family #FoodCulture #friend #LARestaurant #LA #life #LosAngelesTimes #MardiGras #NewOrleansCharm #party #people #RyanLegaux #stranger

One of those Creedence Clearwater Revival tunes I was hoping that CCR tribute band I saw last night would do. As good as they were, there was something … missing.

#PortlandME - #JazzAtTheMovies film series

"#WMPG’s Jazz At The Movies team are pleased to present our first film of the 2026 season, the documentary 'Music Pictures: #NewOrleans'.

"Beautifully shot and recorded, the film is a loving portrait of four Crescent City jazz, soul, and blues legends, and a celebration of 100 years of New Orleans musical history.

"Directed by New Orleans native filmmaker #BenChace, 'Music Pictures: New Orleans' is a vibrant documentary exploring the rich musical heritage of New Orleans. It showcases the city’s diverse musical landscape, from legendary #JazzClubs to lively street performances, highlighting the influences of #Creole, #AfricanAmerican, and #French cultures, and how historical events, like #MardiGras and #HurricaneKatrina, have shaped the city’s music scene. Through interviews with local musicians and historians, Music Pictures: New Orleans reveals music’s central role in the city’s cultural and social fabric.

"The film showcases four New Orleans music legends: Grammy-winning #IrmaThomas 'The Soul Queen of New Orleans' ; #BennyJonesSr., the leader and drummer of the world renowned #TremeBrassBand; guitarist #LittleFreddieKing, the 'Last King of the Blues'; and the pianist and educator, #EllisMarsalisJr., patriarch of the famed jazz family, in what would be his last concert before his death. Music Pictures: New Orleans follows each of the four artists, one by one, as they talk about their lives, rehearse, and record a new album in the studio in early 2020s. By combining vintage footage with live interviews and rare backstage access, this film provides a wonderful snapshot of New Orleans as the home for so much great American music, from #soul to #BrassBand to jazz and #TheBlues. What better way to get ready for the Mardi Gras season!"
