It’s Fat Tuesday! The last day of Carnival and the day before Ash Wednesday, Fat Tuesday is the intertwining of a period of festivals and feasts that lead to a time of fasting and reflection. Also known as Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras, it’s an enduring celebration with deep roots and traditions. Let’s take a trip to New Orleans for some Jazz and Soul. For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what NOLA/Mardi Gras style music do you want to hear?

Tune in tonight as Bill DeVille will be exploring this topic for Time Machine Tuesday - 10pm on The Current!
