The Rumble

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 youll hear when they make their way toward you is the back line, known as the rumble. Featuring seven GRAMMY-nominated musicians, The Rumble is more than just a band its an opportunity to be immersed in a wholly unique facet of New Orleans culture. Composed of Second Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr. of the Golden Eagles, trumpeter Aurélien Barnes, trombonist José Maize Jr., bassist TJ Norris, guitarist Ari Teitel, keyboardist Andriu Yanovski, and drummer Trenton O Neal, the group fuses iconic New Orleans funk in the vein of The Meters and The Neville Brothers but updated, modern and vibrant befitting the next generation with electrifying brass and the singular visual splendor of the Black Masking carnival tradition.
