Allen Toussaint Band

We’re serving it up in style All On A Mardi Gras Day with a pre-show crawfish boil and party on the Royce terrace and two spectacular flavors of New Orleans music. American songwriter and producer Allen Toussaint is one of the most influential figures in New Orleans R&B. An evening sharing stories and hits— including Working in the Coalmine, Lady Marmalade and Southern Nights alongside songs from his 2010 Grammy nominee The Bright Mississippi—is a moveable feast on its own. London’s Independent calls Toussaint “… the jewel in New Orleans’s crown, not merely the most distinctive of soul songwriter/ producers, but a virtuoso piano stylist with unparalleled knowledge of the city’s musical development.”
