UPDATE: From our Endymion man on the inside - Drew. I asked Drew how they came to pick Taylor for this and how you can get tickets - here is the skinny.
We always knew that Taylor’s popularity, music style and personality were a natural marriage for Endymion and Mardi Gras….’
We looked at him back in May . . . I wasn’t sure if Taylor was even hearing about the offer from various levels of agents, etc., so I put it on the back burner. Then a buddy in Nashville said he used to be the roommate of Taylor’s manager and that he could get right to them. He did, and it took three days to complete the deal.
Taylor has been a joy to work with since then – he did some promos for us recently, as well as the blog on your site.
About the Extravaganza…..
It will be on February 17th beginning at 7pm in the Louisiana Superdome. Depending upon what happens during the route, the parade arrives around 8-9 pm and goes inside and through the Superdome (this is quite the audio/visual party for the senses).
Long dresses (not tea length) for the girls – tux for the guys. Entertainment is Styx, Journey, Al Green and Taylor. Taylor is bringing the band he played with for years – the Little Memphis Blues Orchestra. Local bands include The Wise Guys and the Chee-Weez. It is a BYOB party and participants are encouraged to bring sandwich trays or buckets of chicken or whatever. The party goes until about 4am. It’s a long night!! Many bring ice chests full of food and beverage which is fine.
Tickets are $150.00 each (worth every penny) and can be purchased by calling (504) 736-0160.
Taylor Hicks to be the Grand Marshall of the Krewe of Endymion parade for Mardi Gras. _________________
