FEBRUARY 6th - "SWAMP STOMP'N TUNES" - 9:30pm - $10 cover
Mel Melton & the Wicked Mojos
 Since we can't have CJ Chenier (the Zydeco Prince), the next best way to celebrate our First Year Anniversary is to bring on our own King of Mojoland: Mel Melton!!! He and his band will be stirring up the zydeco-fever and spinning their own swamp-stomping tunes. As band leader Mel Melton describes his music: "There's zydeco of course, and Cajun and blues, and New Orleans jazz and funk. But as far as what we're playing, I like to call it 'Mojo Music." So come on down, celebrate our birthday with us and get the spell put on ya! More info.
