Revolutionary Snake Ensemble (RSE) returns to Regattabar, on Friday Feb. 21st, for the party that is a Boston Mardi Gras tradition, with an annual show that has repeatedly sold out.

The evening will feature New Orleans veteran saxophonist Amadee Castenell, whose numerous credits include Dr. John, The Neville Bros, Allen Toussaint, Elvis Costello, and many others. Also joining the band for several pieces will be electrifying vocalist and New Orleans legend Henri Smith.

Take note that due to weekday construction at the Charles Hotel, RSE’s annual Mardi Gras Party will be held a few days prior to their traditional Fat Tuesday celebration.
