🎷 Mardi Gras Night with Sally Baby’s Silver Dollars – Music on Tap Series 🎺

Step inside from the winter chill and warm up to the vibrant, sunny sounds of authentic New Orleans-style jazz! The Jackson Symphony Orchestra is thrilled to present NPR Tiny Desk runners-up Sally Baby’s Silver Dollars for a spectacular Mardi Gras celebration at Weatherwax Hall. Seamlessly blending the sounds of early Creole jazz bands, New Orleans R&B, second-line grooves, and calypso, this powerhouse ensemble brings the celebratory spirit of Louisiana straight to downtown Jackson. With driving rhythms, bold horns, and undeniable vintage flair, it’s an evening of upbeat tunes, rich melodies, and pure musical fun.

Gather your friends and join us inside the JSO building for Jackson’s favorite casual music series. Kick back, grab a festive drink from the cash bar, and let the good times roll!

✨ THE VIBE ✨
Expect an atmosphere that is joyful, soulful, and bursting with Southern warmth. Weatherwax Hall transforms into an intimate French Quarter jazz parlor where the energy is high and the music is completely infectious. Led by singer-guitarist and music historian Salvatore Geloso, the evening delivers a rich, horn-heavy wall of sound that will make you completely forget about the winter cold outside. Grab a drink, soak in the festive energy, and settle in for a night of authentic NOLA storytelling and foot-stomping rhythms.
