Mardi Gras Git Down with Otis McDonald
Opened by the Huney Knuckles!
Doors 7PM // Show 8PM
We’ll be playing Mardi Gras big band classics with Otis McDonald!
From the mind and ears of producer/multi-instrumentalist, Joe Bagale (aka Otis McDonald,) comes a sound that is fresh but tangibly rooted in nostalgia. When taking a listen, one may recall the soul of the 60s or the funk of the 70s. Or perhaps it’s pop radio from the 80s or the boom bap beats of the late 90s. What ever it may be, Otis McDonald is the sound of an artist who manifests a lesson in versatility and growing perspective.
