Review | Jojo & the Mardi Gras Band: Music Farm, Charleston, SC

Jojo (John Herman of Widespread Panic) and The Mardi Gras Band brought their 'Nawlins style flavor to the Music Farm Saturday Feb. 2. Beads were flyin' and beer was flowin' as they touched on some old favorites like "Tipitina" and, of course, "Red Beans", which really got the crowd into full swing. Bodies were shakin' in the first set when they tore through classics by Ray Charles, such as "I Got a Woman" and "Mess Around". The second set saw a smooth segue into "Shake Rattle and Roll" (made famous by Bill Haley and His Comets), and Muddy Waters' "I Got My Mojo Workin". It was great to see these guys make a stop in Charleston on their way to what will it sure to be a hell-of-a show Fat Tuesday in New Orleans. Thanks to Joel Frank of The Bridge for the spacious VIP area. Mardi Gras has officially started!
