Proctors Announces Four New Concerts

Laissez les bons temps rouler! Get out your beads and dancin’ shoes because after a two-year hiatus, the Mardi Gras party is coming back to Proctors’ GE Theatre in Schenectady!

And Proctors is doin’ it up right with New Orleans funk-jazz powerhouse Dirty Dozen Brass Band pumpin’ out the syncopated, second line Mardi Gras parade beat as headliners on Wednesday, February 20. The fab Fat Tuesday celebration will kick off at 7:30pm with Cha Wa, who put a contemporary spin on their brass band-meets-Mardi Gras Indian repertoire. Tickets are on sale now, priced at $39.50.
