Mardi Gras is coming and it won’t be long now! Iko Iko!

Happy Mardi Gras and Happy New Year!

Tony Mart Presents is just off the phenomenally good time Big Easy Cruise where we partied with and enjoyed performances by many of the great musical artists who have and will be performing for us in South Jersey, including Devon Allman with the Allman Betts Band, Johnny Sansone, who performed with everybody, including the Blind Boys from Alabama and Tab Benoit; Bonerama; Sugaray Rayford; and many more including Troy “Trombone Shorty“ Andrews, whose older brother and mentor, James Andrews, will be headlining, along with Eric Lindell, the Tony Mart Presents Mardi Gras at Anchor Rock Club in just three weeks on Friday, February 7.

Thanks to our benevolent sponsors, CCC and Greg at Anchor Rock, Tony Mart will present the first truly authentic New Orleans Mardi Gras of the season with both of these stars.

Eric Lindell is now at the forefront of some of the greatest funky, jammin, Americana music performing with Ivan Neville and Galactic for several years. Eric Lindell was an old friend to Somers Point audiences having performed on the Beach on several occasions. Together, this will be a stunning show and frolicking good time party and you should immediately contact Anchor Rock Club or go to www. anchorrockclub.com or go to our generous sponsor Conservatory Cannabis Company 2516 New Road, EHT and conservatorycannabis.com who will have tickets available for this fabulous party and show from 8 to 12 that evening. It's Cannabis for the community as CCC sponsors the Jawn of the Dead Concert next Friday, January 24, the Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk presented at Anchor Rock Club as part of Conservative Cannabis Carnival and another great show at Anchor Rock to be announced for Friday, April 11th featuring Octave Cats. It's all happening thanks to CCC.

In New Orleans Mardi Gras means king cake, and in South Jersey we now have a bona fide New Orleans style coffeehouse, PJs Coffeehouse located at 1201 New Road Suite 105 Linwood. But the biggest thing is the Caluda’s King cake which is available to taste or buy or order to make your Mardi Gras parties truly authentic. We’ll talk about king cake and the new exciting New Orleans energy at PJ‘s Coffee Linwood with the owner operator, Wayne Blee, this Saturday the 18th of January on the radio show as he will now become part of the Tony Mart family along with so many new sponsors, including Star Vista Cruises and their nine different music cruises, Bogle wine and their multiple labels and huge selection of excellent, quality California wines; and the Claridge Hotel, where so much will be happening.

In addition to being the rain venue for the Mardi Gras on the Boardwalk concert series, which is well underway in the planning and application phases right now, the Claridge Hotel will be the venue for many concerts at its vintage, comfortable Celebrity theater as well as outdoor shows at Brighton Park, which are now in the planning stages.

Look for the finest 4-20 weekend celebration on Saturday the 19th and the 20th at the Claridge hotel along with our sponsors and some of the greatest performers in blues rock, roots rock, Americana, jam, funk, raggae and classic rock.

How about rumba tequila, a new tribute to the music of Bob Marley and Carlos Santana who have just been announced for the New Orleans Jazzfest in April.

As the great “Papa Funk“ Art Neville sang with such funky drive while performing “ Fiyo On the Bayou“ in some of the greatest funky Mardi Gras performances of all time, it’s “Cool cool wine on Mardi Gras day that makes you wanna fire!"

The Circle Liquor Store is ready to warm us up with lots of cool, cool wines and great wines from all over the world at tremendous discounts during the winter wine sale with hundreds of wines on sale from all over, including wines directly from the vineyards in France and Italy and Spain, and of course incredible deals on California wines bought in big lots to pass on remarkable savings!

There is an amazing selection of the finest sparkling wines from Cava to Prosecco to Champagne and Sparkling Wines from California.

You can order your own bottle of bourbon from the barrel to warm you in the winter time or you can move onto tequila, rum, and vodka to fire your Mardi Gras!

Anyway you want to get ready to Let the Good Times Roll, go to the Circle Liquor between 9 AM and 10 PM, seven days a week!
