Local bar-rock legends Bloodkin return to the Georgia Theatre stage for their annual holiday “and friends” show, which this year features support from some notable characters straight out of Louisiana’s most musical city. Funk-jazz supergroup the New Orleans Suspects, which features members of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, the Neville Brothers and Outformation, will kick off the night. They’ll be joined by a special guest in Big Chief Juan Pardo, one of the most prominent of the Crescent City’s Mardi Gras Indians. His rich, evocative singing voice and bursts of percussive energy make for a captivating performance. A $50 VIP ticket is available, including special seating and a pre-show meet-and-greet with free food and drinks.
