Mardi Gras Party
For those unable to make it to the Big Easy this weekend, Gene Casey and the Lone Sharks and the HooDoo Loungers will headline a Mardi Gras party at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor on Saturday at 8 p.m.
Since Mr. Casey formed the Lone Sharks after moving to the East End in 1988, the band’s roots-drenched rock has been a staple of the local music scene and beyond. The band did 150 shows last year, mostly on Long Island but also in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York City.
The HooDoo Loungers call themselves “the New Orleans party band,” and with good reason. Their music ranges from the funk of the Neville Brothers and the Meters to the R&B of Dr. John and Professor Longhair, with a dose of New Orleans jazz thrown in to help capture the spirit of that city.
Tickets, available at baystreet.org, are $30.
