Marcia Ball

Prepare for Mardi Gras with a night of swampy, funky rock. Louisiana-born Marcia Ball became an institution in her adopted hometown of Austin, Texas. She’s an energetic piano player, a master storyteller, and an outspoken female in a music world dominated by men. On Shine Bright, her latest album released by Alligator Records, she dedicates “Pots and Pans” to the irascible political columnist Molly Ivins. “We’re out in the streets, banging on pots and pans,” she wails. It’s got joyous horn lines over an irresistible beat. With Sonny Landreth, one of the nation’s finest slide guitar players.
