New Orleans' Own Hot 8 Brass Band, Tuesday February 21st at 7:30 p.m.

Nothing epitomizes New Orleans street music more than New Orleans' own Hot 8 Brass Band. Here they are back at The American to help us celebrate Mardi Gras in true French Quarter style.

This is a band that infuses its performances with the funk and energy that make the Crescent City's music loved around the world. All of the band members were born and raised in New Orleans and what makes them so special is their ability to coax and create such unique and memorable sounds from their well-worn and well-loved instruments, so that an evening with Hot 8 is simply like no other.

They regularly tour Japan, Italy, France, Spain, Finland and the United Kingdom and are a solid rock regular at the annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and many other leading festivals around the globe. Famed motion picture director Spike Lee featured members of Hot 8 in both of his recent documentaries and they were also featured in acclaimed HBO series Treme. Recently they shared the stage with Dr. John, Lou Reed and Nicolas Payton at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem and they are featured on the most recent Blind Boys of Alabama recording.

Freedom Bound, Saturday, February 18th at 2 p.m.

An original play with music, Freedom Bound tells the story of the most important incident in the history of the Underground Railroad in Ohio. This is the story of Addison White, a slave who escaped from Kentucky and ended up in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. There he was befriended by a farmer named Udney Hide. Addison worked for his meals by day and learned to read and write by night with the help of Hyde's daughter, Amanda. It was not too long before Addison was discovered by his former master and Federal Marshall's came to arrest him and return him to slavery. But, more than 100 citizens confronted the Marshalls and demanded they set Addison free.

In this wonderful production, Mad River Theatre Works creates characters that literally emerge from the past to bring the Underground Railroad to life, right before your eyes.
