Folksoul Band, Mardi Gras Show!

The Folksoul Band creates new music from old traditions, combining horns, vocals, wild rhythms, and New Orleans Mardi Gras spirit to create music for celebration and dancing.

It is the living tradition of Mardi Gras dance music and New Orleans that is celebrated here – the city that gave us Louis Armstrong and Fats Domino – the fathers of jazz and rock’ n’ roll. We go back to the roots to find the spirit that has its source Down There, and we follow its branches of Motown, Soul, and R&B, that reach out to all of us as Americans and even beyond.
We go there with horns and guitar, keys, and rhythm, and stellar vocals covering all kinds of dance tunes, and we discover ourselves in the mix, as does our audience.

It’s new and old music, coming out of the oldest and most vibrant of American traditions.
Our music is music that’s alive and gets the party going!
It’s dance music, with a natural and organic acoustic balance that does not rely on volume to reach people’s hearts and souls.
