USA Today said: “Marcia Ball’s rollicking roadhouse rave–ups and soulful Gulf Coast R&B, her barrelhouse playing and her feel–good party tunes are iconic.” The Boston Herald declared: “Marcia Ball’s voice can break your heart with a ballad or break your back with a rocker.” Rolling Stone heard “rollicking, playful, good–time blues and intimate, reflective balladry…her songs ring with emotional depth.” The Texas–born, Louisiana–raised musical storyteller and five–time GRAMMY Award nominee has earned worldwide fame for her ability to ignite a full–scale roadhouse rhythm and blues party every time she strolls onto the stage. On her 2014 album The Tattooed Lady And The Alligator Man, Ball painted a series of musical pictures richly detailed with characters, flavors and scenes straight out of Louisiana, Texas, and the Gulf Coast: the poignant “Just Keep Holding On,” the fresh–start anthem “Clean My House,” and the surprising and timely “The Squeeze Is On.” A rockin’ good time is guaranteed when Marcia Ball and her band bring the spirit of Mardi Gras to Jazz Standard – make your reservations now!
