Video Premiere: Preservation Hall Jazz Band, “Go to the Mardi Gras”

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band wants to get you in a Mardi Gras frame of mind with their brand new cover of the Professor Longhair Carnival standard “Go to the Mardi Gras.”

Produced by Austin based event promotion outfit Do512 for their Lounge Series, the video showcases the Preservation Hall Jazz Band’s ongoing effort to spread the love of and appreciation for New Orleans music and culture.

You can catch the band live at Preservation Hall, 726 St. Peter Street in the French Quarter, when they are in town. For now, put this video on repeat until it’s time to dance in the streets on Mardi Gras day.
