For the seventeenth year running, Shaun Wolf Wortis' Mardi Gras Ball will turn a Boston area club into a New Orleans house party. Shaun Wolf Wortis (Gato Malo, ex-Slide etc.) leads a sprawling band -- the Vudu Krewe All-Star Mardi Gras Band -- through a high-energy set of old New Orleans rhythm & blues music, jazz-era torch songs, and sing-along "Mardi Gras Indian" romps. Special guests from the local Boston rock roster contribute unforgettable performances with the Krewe as a backing band. Long time attendees of the Mardi Gras Ball events can cite the classic New Orleans party songs, but Wortis and Lee also mine a rich seventy years of Lousiana pop music for obscure nuggets. Indeed, regulars of the Annual Mardi Gras Balls may the only folks outside of the Crescent City to now be thoroughly familiar with Oliver Morgan's "Who Shot the La La," The Lollipops "I Got Loaded" or the Pelicans' "Drunk Drunk Drunk".
