CEG & Nolafunk present: 7th Annual Mardi Gras Ball feat. Kermit Ruffins & The BBQ Swingers w/ special guests The Stooges Brass Band, DJ Cochon de Lait February 9, 2013

It takes all of 30 seconds.

Whether listening to a track on his newest CD, engaging him in conversation or hearing his voice on an answering machine message, one word springs immediately to mind to describe Kermit Ruffins.

Passion.

The 44-year-old New Orleans native lives it, plays it and sings about it, and nowhere is it more evident than when he discusses his craft: the swinging, good-time jazz that lured him in as a teenager and continues to whet his appetite even three decades and 10 solo recordings later.

$35 advance
$40 day of show
