Mardi Gras 2022 w/ Walter "Wolfman" Washington, the Nth Power
Jalal Antone’s “grab and go” po’boys populate between here and Houston, so Crescent City tastes permeate his nephew Clifford and niece Susan’s Home of the Blues from the get-go. New Orleans son Walter “Wolfman” Washington remains precisely the post-World War II Gulf Coast roots digger they opened their hearts to on the Sixth Street of the Seventies. His smoldering soul at 78 matches that of fellow NOLA pioneer Irma Thomas on “Even Now” from his most recent R&B prize, My Future Is My Past. Wolfman’s Taj Mahal-like croon, neon guitar ripples, and swampy rhythms bubble & boogie. Heaven on a bun.Sat., March 5, 9pm -

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis
Nick Cave has had the good fortune of working with some incredible musicians since the Bad Seeds’ inception and even more through collaborations, but the moment Warren Ellis joined the Seeds for the Let Love In sessions in 1993, there was no turning back. The shamanlike Australian can create as much ambient darkness on his microKORG and a violin as an entire chorus singing Mozart’s Requiem. Whether Cave and Ellis are layering complex emotions for one of their many soundtrack collaborations or driving it home fast and gritty for their alter ego art-punk band, Grinderman, they’re always on the tip of intensity.Sat., March 5, 8pm -
