The Rumble: tribute to the Wild Magnolias w/ special guests Big Chief Monk Boudreaux & June Yamagishi

On Mardi Gras morning, your eyes may feast on the intricate and elaborate beadwork of the Indians as they dance down the street, but the first thing you’ll hear when they make their way toward you is the back line, known as “the rumble”. Composed of six multi-GRAMMY-nominated artists, The Rumble is more than just a band—it’s an opportunity to be immersed in a wholly unique facet of New Orleans culture. The group fuses iconic New Orleans funk in the vein of The Meters and The Neville Brothers with electrifying brass and the singular visual splendor of the Black Masking carnival tradition. On stage, The Rumble delivers a blast of rich color and propulsive sound, with each member sharing vocal duties and engaging the audience in the classic Mardi Gras Indian-style call-and-response chanting. The group pays homage to trailblazers like The Wild Magnolias (famously led by member Joseph Boudreaux’s father, Monk Boudreaux), continuing the fight to preserve the legacies and traditions of the community for the next generation while bringing new layers of depth and creativity to their live performance. Whether on stage or in the studio, The Rumble lead the way as they honor a centuries old tradition, ensuring their heritage continues to evolve and thrive.
