Marcia Ball and the Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars will perform at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 at the Northshore Performing Arts Center, 18125 92nd Ave. N.E., Bothell.
The concert will feature Tab Benoit, Cyril Neville, Anders Osborne, Johnny Sansone, Waylon Thibodeaux and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux.
Over the course of her three-decade-plus career, Ball has developed a large and enthusiastic fan base with her smoldering blend of swampy rhythm and blues, high-energy blues and heart-wrenching ballads. In collaboration with the Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars, the evening of music will have a message from the Gulf Coast.
The Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars were founded in 2005 when some of Louisiana’s most prominent musicians got together and produced a benefit CD for the Voice of the Wetlands nonprofit organization. The loss of south Louisiana’s wetlands is a serious environmental problem, contributing to the loss of the musicians’ unique culture, heritage and livelihood — and was made even worse by the destruction from Hurricane Katrina.
Tickets are adults $40; seniors $35; and youth under 17 $25.
