Two decades strong, Wolf's Annual Mardi Gras Ball is both a showcase of the quirky and seductive R&B from 1950's New Orleans, and of the diversity of the Boston rock scene. Indeed, specials guests of the Mardi Gras Balls read like a who's-who of Boston rock (including everyone from Tanya Donelly to Gary Cherone; Holly Brewer to Barrance Whitfield; and Casey Desmond to Willie Loco Alexander).

Praised by both local media and national outlets like the New Yorker and Spin Magazine, Cambridge's own Mardi Gras Ball is great fun and a great benefit to boot.

All proceeds from the Mardi Gras Ball go to help musicians without health care. We donate proceedings of the show to the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic
