Mardi Gras New Year's Party

706.549.7020

On New Year's Eve, we have two great acts out of Louisiana! Big Horns and Big Rythym abound as the party hits the Melting Point. General admission tickets available online or through the box office. Now through December 1, we will be offering a discounted ticket price. "The Big Easy" package includes a VIP experience including admission for two, an overnight stay at the Foundry Park Inn and Spa, reserved seating in the Melting Point, four course New Orleans style cusine prepared by award winning Chef Martin Smetana, a bottle of champagne and the best party in Athens!

Lil Brian and The Zydeco Travelers are living up to their reputation as the most innovative and musically accomplished young zydeco band on the scene today. Lil Brian's latest release, Funky Nation, is the band's boldest statement yet that zydeco can be a cutting edge sound as vital to a new generation of fans as it has been for longtime buffs.

When Bonerama struts onstage with its four-trombone frontline, you can guess it's not quite like any rock 'n' roll band you've seen. When they tear into some vintage New Orleans funk, there's no questioning from which city these guys hail. And when those 'bones start ripping into Hendrix and Led Zeppelin licks, all stylistic bets are off.

TIME: 7 p.m.
