Suddenly the announcers voice exclaims "From the Looziana Bayous, where the alligators got soul and the good times roll, It's MOJO & the Bayou Gypsies!" Mojo's bayou journey begins - Down to Luzianne to visit the magic lady, Madame Magique, to parties, lovers, dancing, trail rides, deep meaning and memories, to a total MOJO BOOGIE in one of America's happiest nights of entertainment.

In addition to the performance at Muncie Civic, MOJO & THE BAYOU GYPSIES will be leading a parade down the street to Muncie's Downtown Mardi Gras to play an additional set on the Walnut Street stage.

This class represents a close working partnership between Muncie Civic and Downtown Development

Finally, students from Ball State's School of Music will be invited to engage in a conversation about the history of cajun and zydeco music with Mr. Mojo prior to the performance. This represents a partnership between Muncie Civic Theatre, Arts Midwest and Ball state University in an effort to provide BSU students and the Muncie community with unique learning opportunities in the Arts to enhance their educational experience in Muncie.
