Alex Rawls Talks Krewe du Vieux and Weekend Picks on Fox8 TV

OffBeat editor Alex Rawls continued his weekly appearances on Fox8 TV this morning to share OffBeat‘s picks for the weekend with host Rob Masson on Fox8’s Morning News. The big news this weekend is, of course, Krewe du Vieux, the de facto gunshot that starts the Mardi Gras marathon. He also talks about Family Gras in Metairie next weekend, which will feature two stages of music, including R&B throwback Eli “Paperboy” Reed and country band Little Big Town.

The clip online gets cut off as soon as the discussion moves to this year’s Endymion grand marshals, but you can catch the full show every Friday morning at 8:45 a.m. Next week’s appearance will be sure to include more Mardi Gras highlights.
