Producer Gabriel Selko and Moth Poetic Circus decided to start Mardi Gras four days early this year by bringing a spectacle that was a year in the making called The Cirque Side of the Moon to Casselman’s on February 8th. It was a world of a world of voodoo, circus, music, enchantment, and excess and the crowd came dressed to impress. Adorned in makeup, feathers, masks, and of course green, gold and purple beads eye candy was everywhere you looked.

Victor Wooten’s show at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom was less about the five-time Grammy award-winning bassist, and more about his “new band, new sound, and new experience.” Wooten, as promised to his fans, wowed the audience with dazzling solos but he also allowed his band to steal a piece of the stage and showcase their skills as well. As the band blended Funk and Jazz it soon became clear why this kind of musical exploration took place beneath a giant Disco ball.

Producers Kimal Soliman and Bill Sarver take two musical compositions and fold one over another to create entirely new songs that often surpass the brilliance of the originals.
