For all of you Knox-Villains that don't have the resources to head down south to the Big Easy this weekend, Knoxville has plenty to offer for your Mardi Gras festivities. First up is the official Mardi Gras Bash at the Valarium tonite. Lord T and Eloise, along with Space Capone and 4matiks, drop by the Blackstock Ave. for a Friday nite throwdown. Hailing from Memphis Lord T and Eloise are a hip hop duo whose orignial style has attracted quite the following here in the Southeast. Dressing up as an 18th Century aristocrat and a 24 karat gold man, their unique crunk style speaks for itself.
Not only is it Mardi Gras, but today also happens to be First Friday here in K-Town. Along with all the other festivities happening about town, Holy Ghost Tent Revival will be performing tonite at the Square Room. The sextet includes banjo, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and whatever else the Greenesboro natives feel like playing. Their eclectic style has won the hearts of fans and critics alike. If you didn't catch the HGTR's performance on Knoxville's 11 O'clock rock, make sure to catch them tonite down on the Square.
A couple doors down at Preservation Pub, local favs, Christabel and the Jons will be taking the stage here in town before embarking on a spring tour. Embracing their distinct sound and style, Christabel and the Jons have been touring and performing since 2005. Having released two full-length albums since, Christabel and the Jons have stayed busy opening for natinoal touring acts such as Brazillian Girls and The Be-Good Tanyas. All the while Christa DeCicco's smooth, sultry voice has earned her recognition as one of the best up and coming singer/songwriters around.
