The Act Arts Centre in Maple Ridge is going to bring in a bit of Mardi Gras, with Gary Comeau and the Voodoo All Stars on March 1.
Special guest Cory Weeds will be handling the saxophone duties on this night, and Comeau said he has a "terrific lineup" to include Adam Rohrlick on guitars, Roger Brant on bass, and Nino Di Pasquale hitting the drums.
Gary Comeau & The Voodoo Allstars bring a taste of Louisiana's hot and spicy roots and blues to performances, creating a Mardi Gras party atmosphere that echoes the festive spirit of a Bourbon Street festival. Their music blends jazz, roots, Latin, and R&B blues drawn from the culturally rich history of New Orleans.
They are inspired by the jazz influence of Louis Armstrong, the piano stylings of Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, Dr. John, and Allen Toussaint, and the funky rhythms of the Neville Brothers, and craft a sound that is distinctly their own.
The 120-minute show will start at 8 p.m. in the Mainstage Theatre. Tickets are $37.50 plus fees, and are available online at theactmapleridge.org.
