“Laissez les bons temps rouler!" is a Cajun expression meaning "Let the good times roll!" and it strongly conveys the joie de vivre ("joy of living") attitude of The Beehive’s 7th Annual Mardi Gras celebration on Tuesday, March 4th, 2014. The South End hot spot has spared no expense in making this year’s festivities as authentic as possible. Diners and partygoers alike can look forward to the traditional jazz style of BT New Orleans 2nd Line Brass Band which will keep the crowd singing and swinging all night long!
From 8:00PM to 12:00AM Boston-based trombonist Brian Thomas, one of the most sought after musicians in the country, and his brass band will take The Beehive’s stage. Brian has been playing trombone since the age of 10 in his hometown of Rochester, NY and leads his own jazz quartet, big band, and funk power house Akashic Record, each of which feature his original compositions.
