An Intimate Evening Series at Le Petit Theatre starring Marcia Ball
Marcia Ball will be performing at Le Petit Theatre on Friday, May 1st.
Join us for an exclusive Intimate Evening Series at Le Petit Theatre starring Marcia Ball.
The Texas-born, Louisiana-raised musical storyteller has earned worldwide fame for her ability to ignite a full-scale roadhouse rhythm and blues party every time she strolls onto the stage. Her groove-laden New Orleans boogie, deeply soulful ballads and rollicking Gulf Coast blues have made her a one-of-a-kind favorite with music fans all over the world.
In 2010, she was inducted into the Gulf Coast Hall Of Fame and in 2012 into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. She's received a total of six Living Blues Awards and nine Blues Music Awards (and has a whopping 42 nominations). She's received five Grammy Award nominations, including five of her six previous Alligator albums. Always a songwriter of renown, Ball delved deeper into songwriting than she ever had in her career with her Grammy-nominated 2010 Alligator release, Roadside Attractions, creating one of her best and most personal albums.
Marcia Ball's newest album, The Tattooed Lady And The Alligator Man, is an irresistible tale of true love at the travelling carnival. It's a story that nobody but Ball could spin, filled with vivid details, universal truths, and a rambunctious sense of fun and desire. With raucous horns punctuating Ball's legendary piano pounding and emotional, melodic vocals, the song kicks off the CD of eleven originals and one glorious cover (Hank Ballard's He's The One). The release mixes Ball's Gulf Coast blues, New Orleans R&B, swampy Louisiana ballads, and jumping, Tex-Mex flavored zydeco into a one-of-a-kind musical gumbo, a sound she has been perfecting over the course of her legendary career.
Tickets are $35.00 for General Seating and $40.00 for Premium Seating. The doors open at 8:30 p.m. Marcia Ball will begin her performance at 9:00 p.m.
A special Pre-Concert Menu will be offered at Dickie Brennan's Tableau next door to the venue. For reservations at Tableau please call: 504.934.3463. The meal is not included in Marcia Ball ticket price. The price of the Pre-Concert Menu depends on entree selection and ranges from $30 - $36.
