The Mystic Krewe produces a diverse variety of events from month to month. From charity benefits to live music performances to research groups, formal classes and presentations.
Our state-of-the-art facility can be made available to host your event, contact us for more details.
Perhaps the most popular event we produce other than our pinball tournaments are our “Live at the PinChurch” concert series.
Modeled in part, after productions like “Austin City Limits”, “MTV Unplugged” and “Sessions at West 54th”, “Live at the PinChurch” is the New Orleans’ areas own version of a closed-studio live recording of an intimate event. It’s one-party party, one-part concert, one-part recording session and one-part intimate experience with special artists and performers, who share more than they would in their traditional outlets.
We are proud of the amazing artists who have supported these efforts and look forward to bringing many more artists and performers to the space.
As part of the event, we usually cybercast the event live over the Internet using our custom-built audio, video and streaming servers whose technology rivals that of any other service online, including YouTube and uStream (and in many cases is superior). We often feature interactive performances where the artists in the space are communicating both with the live audience as well as the Internet audience in real time.
For more details or to help get involved with production or attend a show, contact us.
Charity and Benevolent Activities
We also work in association with various charity groups to produce benefit tournaments and raise money for many different social organizations, from Children’s Hospital and local food pantries to museums and charities.
UPDATE – The show is back on, scheduled for Fri, October 4th.
New Orleans artist and musician Clint Maedgen (Liquidrone, New Orleans Bingo! Show, Preservation Hall Jazz Band) has regrouped with a new lineup of musicians to form Clint Maedgen and the BandPandas, his latest endeavor in exploring the unique and electric sounds of his past and present catalogue. Whether reinventing songs from previous ensembles or playing newly released music, the group promises an eclectic mix of blues, country, rock, folk, and gospel. While this volume of music has a rich history spanning decades, The BandaPandas has its own interesting and recent origin story.
Like many artists and musicians during the era of pandemic lockdowns and social distancing, Clint sought new avenues to reach and connect with audiences, and found an answer in what quickly developed into a tight-nit Patreon group, dubbed The Panda Family, with members from all over the world meeting daily for exciting performances by Clint, or often just to hang and talk music and art and life as everyone navigated the new realities of the world.
When the world opened up again, several of the musically inclined and New Orleans adjacent Panda Fam decided to learn some of Clint’s material and proposed getting together with him for a jam. It only took one song for everyone to realize there was something more to explore here. Fast forward several months and the BandaPandas had developed a 2 1/2 hour revue of Clint’s varied and beloved musical catalogue, with Jason Spring on drums, Kevin Logsdon on electric guitar, and Jamie Digilormo on bass backing Clint’s unique voice and vocal melodies. The result is something unique and special, with artist and fans coming together as friends to recreate and perform with care and attention this music that they all share a love for.
This is a very special, private venue, with many wonders and surprises. Only a limited number of tickets will be available.
Access to this special event is via RSVP/pre-order only. Tickets can be purchased below. There is a very limited quantity. People who pre-register will receive an e-mail with details and directions to the venue. This not a public space and no walk-ins will be permitted. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!

Mahmoud “Mood” Chouki (Morocco, 1984) is a master guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and composer currently living and working in New Orleans. His art draws together music from several different international contexts to explore how music may speak across cultural divides. His own compositions incorporate musical influences from across the globe, ranging from European classical, Andalusian from Southern Spain, Levantine music from the Middle East, Maghrebian music from North Africa, Latin American music, and Jazz from the United States. Integrating sounds and rhythms from many different cultures, Chouki combines classical guitar with instruments such as the loutar, a traditional instrument of the Middle Atlas region of Morocco; the sintir, a Sub-Saharan instrument from the Sahel region (Mali); the oud, an oriental lute; the Algerian mandole, a steel-string fretted instrument resembling an elongated mandolin; the Bağlama saz, a Turkish long necked bowl-lute; the banjo, and a variety of percussion instruments.
Chouki’s projects have led him to perform around the world, such as the Magic Lutes Concerts with composer Hughes de Courson and the Symphonic Orchestras in Qatar; Magic Lutes Concerts with composer Hughes de Courson and the Symphonic Orchestras in Bahrain; Pireneos Sur Festival in Sallent de Gallego, Spain; Snug Harbor in New Orleans, USA; Cafe de la Danse, Paris, France; Gwangju world music festival, South Korea; and Safar music series at the New Orleans Museum of Art
As artistic director of Rencontre Orient-Occident at Chateau Mercier in Sierre, Switzerland, Chouki organizes annual artist residencies, bringing together master musicians from the East and West. For one week they share and explore each other’s styles and cultures through music and experiences, which culminates in a final concert. He also currently teaches music at the Lycee Francais de la Nouvelle Orléans, and is Music Curator for monthly music programs at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Most recently Chouki composed the film score for the2021 Sundance award winning film, Ma Belle, My Beauty (directed by New Orleans based filmmaker Marion Hill). In 2021, he was awarded 2020’s “Best Emerging Artist” by Offbeat Magazine’s Best of the Beat Awards.

Regarded as a top Ambassador of 21st Century Cuban Music, guitarist, bassist, vocalist, lyricist, composer and tres player, Yusa is one of the leading voices of Cuban music today. Her compositions have earned the acclaim of both her contemporaries on the island and international admirers. Born in Havana, music and the ocean have been central to her artistic production as a singer-songwriter.
Yusa blazed trails in her early years as a member of the all-women quintet Quasi Jazz, cementing her voice in the jazz fusion world, but she is perhaps most well-known as the original musical director of the popular Cuban band Interactivo.
She signed to Tumi Music as a solo artist in 2002 and released a handful of albums to critical acclaim, including multiple CubaDisco and BBC Radio World Music Awards. In 2008, she founded her own recording label, YUSA Music, on which she released her 5th album in 2012. She will be releasing her 6th album in 2023.
Yusa brings her vibrant blend of trova, son, pop, jazz, Cuban and Brasilian rhythms to the stage and leaves the audience always wanting more. She draws the listener in with her uncommon and very personal style, integrating Cuban styles with music from around the globe, avoiding cliches and achieving the ever elusive “confusion.”

They have produced five classic album’s, won the Big Easy and OffBeat Awards, played the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the French Quarter Festival, South by Southwest Festival, the Ponderosa Stomp and many more.

Who is Cranston Clements?
With a career spanning forty-plus years, Cranston Clements has toured world-wide and recorded with a long list of renowned performers. Being a native New Orleanian has afforded him the opportunity to work with many of the city’s premier artists. His resume includes the likes of Cyril Neville, Dr. John, Johnny Adams, Wayne Cochran & the C. C. Riders, Marva Wright, Stanton Moore, Boz Scaggs, Maria Muldaur, Allan Toussaint, the Dixie Cups, the Neville Brothers, Mighty Sam McClain, Joe Clay, Irma Thomas among many others. He has also partnered in original projects including Twangorama, the Rockabyes, the Clements Brothers, Sexdog, and the New Orleans Guitar Masters, to which he has contributed numerous original songs and arrangements. In addition to playing guitar on Cyril Neville’s outstanding solo record “Magic Honey” he co-wrote “Blues Is The Truth” with Cyril. Cranston has also maintained a long-standing collaboration with Phil deGruy as a comedy-infused duo (The Self-Righteous Brothers) and as a quartet (Cloud Sharp Nine, featuring James Singleton and Doug Belote).
What about this Phil deGruy guy?
Visionary New Orleans native Phil deGruy has taken the bold initiative of adding 10 harp strings to a 7-string guitar to come up with his custom-made “guitarp.”
Born in New Orleans in 1955, deGruy (pronounced “degree”) took up guitar at an early age and, after being seduced by pop music, quickly gravitated towards the stylings of Chet Atkins. Soon after, the worlds of jazz, classical and beyond ensued.
Respected veteran jazz journalist Bill Milkowski called deGruy “New Orleans’ best-kept secret and a virtuoso of the highest order.” Vintage Guitar magazine said, “Phil deGruy is one of the most astounding talents to ever touch strings,” adding that he “has taken his instrument into new dimensions.”
Phil’s approach to the guitar sounds like John Coltrane meets Mel Brooks at a party for Salvador Dali. It’s uncanny the way he has conjured up such an unorthodox way to attend to virtuosity.” ~ Steve Vai

Our next live show features the amazing Bob Malone, keyboardist for John Fogarty and amazing artist, songwriter and musician. FRIDAY, DEC 7th, 2018!
TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE! LIMITED NUMBER!
We are proud to showcase the amazing talent of BOB MALONE, Live from the PinChurch Tuesday, March 21, 2017. This show will be broadcast live online at: http://live.mystickrewe.com/ There are also a very limited number of public tickets available – see below for details.
BOB MALONE has toured the world as a solo artist for two decades and has played keyboards with rock legend John Fogerty since 2011. Classically trained, with a degree in jazz and a lifetime playing rock & roll clubs, theatres, and arenas, Bob’s sound is a one-of-a-kind hybrid of rock, blues, and New Orleans R&B, delivered with high-energy piano virtuosity and a voice all his own.
Born and raised in New Jersey, he has lived in New York City, New Orleans and Boston, and is currently based in Los Angeles. As a solo artist, Bob plays around 100 shows a year in the US, UK, Europe and Australia – including sets at Glastonbury Music Festival (UK), Colne Blues Festival (UK), Long Beach Bayou Fest (US), Falcon Ridge Folk Fest (US), Blue Mountains Music Fest (AU), and Narooma Blues Fest (AU). He has been featured twice at WWOZ Piano Night in New Orleans, and has opened for Boz Scaggs, Subdudes, The Neville Brothers, Rev. Al Green, BoDeans, Dr. John, Marcia Ball and many others. As a member of John Fogerty’s band, he has played with Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, Jimmy Buffett, and Alan Toussaint.
What Others Are Saying About Bob Malone:
“Pulsating, roaring keyboard work that grabs you and shakes you until you cry for mercy.” — Keyboard Magazine
“With Malone’s latest offering, he has found his mojo delivering a superbly produced blues rock album packed with funk and oozing with soul.” — National Rock Review
“If he could find a way to throw that Steinway grand over his shoulder the way a hot dog guitar player does, I think he would.” — NOLA Defender
“Keyboardist Bob Malone may have been the best musician on the stage outside of Mr. Fogerty himself.” – PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE: John Fogerty brings the bayou to The Meadows
“I first heard him at a WWOZ piano night years ago; his combination of piano skills, witty original songs and lunatic stage energy was totally winning. Mojo Deluxe is a different experience; except for the accordion-and-strings backed “Paris,” this is hard-edged rock ‘n’ roll with New Orleans flourishes (“Chinese Algebra,” the only piano instrumental, is a quirky delight).” – OFFBEAT MAGAZINE: Mojo Deluxe Review
“There’s not a weak cut on this rich and varied outing, which is my pick for best blues album of 2015.” – MYRTLE BEACH SUN NEWS: Best Overlooked Albums of 2015
“He sings in a 2:00 a.m. closing-time bar-room voice ravaged by decades of cigarette smoke and whiskey (that’s a compliment). His scintillating electric Wurlitzer, Hammond B-3, acoustic upright piano, clavinet, accordion and stomp box…creates a truly rock and rolling idiosyncratic blues of personal proportions. In other words, his mojo is, indeed, deluxe.” – CLASSICALITE
“John Fogerty’s keyboard man shows what happens when a classically trained cat cuts loose and runs away to join the circus. Underpinned throughout by the kind of flawless chops he was raised on, this gruff voiced blues rocker has that special knack for hiding unabashed commercial chops in organic clothing.” – MIDWEST RECORD

It’s a NERD ROCK TAKEOVER!
The Consortium of Genius are an industrial-strength powerhouse featuring four cerebral miscreants and a wise-cracking robot who jolt their audience into staggering submission. The resulting evil brainchild is part musical showcase, part sketch comedy, and all hi-tech magic!
C.O.G. debuted at a science fiction con (N.O.S.F.F.F.’96) and have gone on to perform at many large and small fannish events through the years: Dragon*Con (1998 and 2006), CoastCon (2001 and 2011), BabelCon (2008 2009), New Orleans Worst Film Festival (1998), Exoticon (2000), The House of Shock (2001-today), Fear Fest (2007), Ancient City Con (2010), Wizard World Comic Con (2011, 2012), Nerdapalooza (2011), Marscon (2012), Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus (2011, 2012, 2015), World Steam Expo (2012), Contraflow (2012, 2013), Pensacon (2014), and NOLA Time Fest (2013, 2015, 2016), a convention co-launched by the Consortium of Genius itself!
The group regularly tops the nerd-rock charts, with eight songs to date aired by ‘Dr. Demento’ on his national radio show and a #1 single for 20 straight weeks on the Mad Music Archive with ‘They Said I Was Mad’.
The Consortium of Genius have released four CD’s to date: “Free Brains and Dead Bodies” (2000), “In C.O.G. We Trust” (2004) ‘Music For Supervillains’ (2010), featuring a tie-in comic book as well as such guest stars as bassist Sean Yseult of White Zombie and Matt Bruson of Kingom of Sorrow/Crowbar, and Strange Transmissions From Uranus” (2015), an entire album of favorite covers performed by the group.

Meanwhile, the C.O.G. are also the subject of a self-titled online webcomic, readable at www.cogcomics.thecomicseries.com
“The music is raucous and irreverent, and fun to listen to as the video and light show dazzles your eyez. Sexy lab assistants in short white lab coats. Science. Technology. World domination. Everything you could ever expect from the term ‘rock show.’ Best show ever performed in the universe.” – The Charming Prince blog

The Mystic Krewe is excited to present another of our amazing Live From the PinChurch shows, this time featuring a legendary New Orleans band that’s been around for decades. The Iguanas!
We will be streaming this event live, one-time only at http://live.mystickrewe.com/ but there are a limited number of public tickets available – see below!
What if Americana actually encompassed ALL of North America? You’d have the Franco – Acadian inflections of Canada, as best exemplified by le accordion, blues and jazz, the only truly indigenous musics the US has ever produced, and the lilting grace and fiery passion of the music of Mexico. You’d also have New Orleans’ premiere distillers of this continental musical melange, The Iguanas!
Based out of New Orleans for the past couple of decades — save for a short, Katrina-imposed exile in Austin — the members of the Iguanas have (collectively or individually) played or recorded with everyone from Charlie Rich, Alex Chilton, and Willie DeVille to Emmylou Harris, Allen Toussaint, and Pretty Lights.
Their two-decade ride has taken them all over the map musically and geographically,
yet the inescapable patina of their hometown infuses every note they play.
Through eight studio albums, countless tours and Jazz Fest appearances, and a flood that did its best to take their adopted city with it, it’s a testament to the band’s endurance that the same four guys that started playing in the early 1990s are still together. Joe Cabral
is philosophical about the bandʼs persistence in the face of challenges that would have felled—indeed have felled—lesser bands. “First of all, this is all we know how to do; weʼre musicians. But more than that,” he continues, “we respect the power of the band as an entity, and each individual in the band steps up to play his part. When itʼs good, thatʼs really what itʼs all about.”

Gwen Thompkins on NPR says of Alex, “He’s got more original characters in his head than a Hollywood film library. Why else would McMurray write a song about the man who shot the man who shot Liberty Valance? (Spoiler Alert: John Wayne is in the crosshairs).
McMurray also writes about mad men and aging courtesans and even real-life singer Ernie K-Doe, who was perhaps the most original character of all. In addition to his regular catalog of songs, McMurray returned from a work stint in Japan with a pocketful of original sea shanties that he sometimes performs in New Orleans.
Yes, the lyrics are filthy. Yes, the songs are fun. And yes, he sings one for Music Inside Out. (Another Spoiler Alert: he does a PG-13 version). He’s a salty one. But McMurray also can be sweet.”
If Alex McMurray’s songwriting seems a bit dour at times—okay, most of the time—well then that’s totally intentional. “Like Blanche DuBois in Streetcar,” he says, “I find sorrow to be quite a beautiful emotion. Loneliness can be nice.” And he’d know. A New Orleans fixture since the ‘80s, the guitar slinger is now widely recognized as the embodiment of the downtown New Orleans lifestyle: sketchy bars, cracked sidewalks, fallen-down houses, tattered hearts, broken spirits, discarded chicken bones. He’s often compared to Tom Waits; they both have whiskey-throated voices and share a curious ability to find inspiration in the degenerate, not to mention an obsession with the Ninth Ward. Except McMurray actually lives there.
Alex will be performing Friday, Dec 1 at one of the most unique venues in all of the New Orleans area, the Mystic Krewe’s PinChurch. The show will be professionally recorded and several edited singles will be published from the show as well as a studio-quality live cybercast of the event — only shown one time, during the actual performance, free online.
There are a very limited number of tickets available for this special show – see below for details!
Date: Friday, 12/1/17, 8:30pm
Location: The PinChurch (details made available to those who pre-order tickets – not a public venue) – located in the New Orleans area.

His latest album, I Will Never Be Alone In This Land, continues his musical celebration of the city he calls home. “I’ve been trading time for chump change,” he sings on the title track,” but I will never be alone in this land.” That seems a safe bet. He’s solidified his status as a kind of New Orleans institution, appearing three times as himself in the HBO series Treme, once in a ladies’ blonde curly wig, leading a packed-in crowd at Ninth Ward haunt The Saturn Bar in a Mardi Gras Day sea-shanty sing-along. The show’s third season concluded, appropriately, with “You’ve Got to Be Crazy to Live In This Town” from his 2009 album, How to Be a Cannonball. The song sums up nicely the way McMurray feels about New Orleans—and perhaps himself.

Lord knows that is not always possible, but hoards of fans have left McMurray’s gigs happy. First as a sideman at legendary clubs like Maple Leaf Bar, Café Brasil and Tipitina’s, and later as leader of the beloved ‘90s jazz-rock band Royal Fingerbowl, McMurray honed his skills in front of some of the toughest crowds imaginable, winning audiences over with witty, hard-boiled banter and soul-baring performances. In 2001, he even did a six-month stint singing sea shanties at Tokyo Disney, a period he calls “the loneliest in my life.” Upon his return, he formed the Valparaiso Men’s Chorus as a vehicle to revisit old sailor songs, and began playing with the vintage Jamaican pop band 007 (a super group with members of G. Love and Special Sauce, the Iguanas and the New Orleans Klezmer Allstars). He released his first solo album, Banjaxed, in 2004. He is also a member and mastermind of the brilliantly loose sousaphone-washboard-guitar trio, Tin Men, who have released two uncommon albums, Super Great Music for Modern Lovers (2003) and Freaks for Industry (2005), blessing New Orleanians with McMurray-style theme songs like “Cocaine Habit Blues,” “Drunk and In Love” and “Still Drunk.” All of McMurray’s bands are yearly favorites at New Orleans’ Big Easy Awards and Best of the Beat Awards, where Cannonball won Album of the Year in 2010.
In one incarnation or another, McMurray has played Jazz Fest every year since 1996, survived no less than two dozen Mardi Gras seasons, and lived to tell the tale in heartbreaking song. He is an organizer of the Jazz Fest season fringe music festival Chaz Fest, and currently plays in countless other New Orleans bands, including theHappyTalkBand, Debbie Davis, PaulSanchezandtheRollingRoadShow, theSchatzyBandandTheGeraniums.
The Tumbling Wheels are a New Orleans-based gaggle of musicians that draw heavily from American folk, country, and soul traditions. With influences as disparate as Bessie Smith, Hoyt Axton, and the Smothers Brothers, the group brings a peculiar blend of genres together for a sound that abounds in rich vocal harmony, dynamic instrumentation, and colorful storytelling.
Comprised of Jeffrey Sutton (vocals/guitar/violin), Rachel Wolf (vocals), Joanna Tomassoni (drums/vocals/guitar), James Stram (bass), and Sam Ottinger (guitar), The No Counts are emotive performers that will have you weeping into your gin one minute and spilling it on the dance floor the next. Either way, you’ll leave feeling shaken and stirred.

Good magic is much more than just knowing tricks. Good magic involves taking your audience on a journey with you. This is true even if you are only performing for one person.
In this class, you will learn some of the fundamentals of magic and how to apply them to a variety of tricks. This class is more than a collection of tricks, however. You could find a collection of tricks on YouTube. This class is about learning how to use the tools of magic to entertain. Once you understand that, you will be able to use what you’ve learned, or learn new tricks and be able to really engage and entertain an audience.
You will leave this class with a collection of supplies and knowledge that you can use for many tricks and the concepts you need to create your own tricks.
During the class you will learn tricks and routines and get to practice them or even perform them if you want to.
You will leave not just knowing some tricks. You will leave as a magician!
This class takes place at the Mystic Krewe “PinChurch” location. It is limited to no more than 20 participants, with a very limited number of public tickets available. Tickets are $30 for non-MK members, and $25 for MK members, and include special items and materials. This is a non-public event – only pre-registrations are allowed. People who pre-order will be e-mailed details on the class and its location (in Metairie).
The PinChurch will be rocking with our next live show featuring, The Bantam Foxes!
“…drippy guitar benders and wailing garage rock.” – Alex Woodward, Gambit Weekly.
While everyone else is concerned with making music everyone likes—the “bangers” or the 32-writing credit pop tunes—identical twins Collin and Sam McCabe simply make the rock and roll they want to hear. Growing up, the boys were always fascinated with music and harnessed that intrigue into something constructive. After trying out countless projects apart, they came to the ultimate decision to stick together and have been writing at a near constant rate ever since. Originally from St. Louis, now based in New Orleans, Collin and Sam craft swift, sweeping and at times, haunting rock songs that just *click*.

Our next live show features the amazing Bob Malone, keyboardist for John Fogarty and amazing artist, songwriter and musician. Tuesday, March 21, 2017 – more details soon!
We are proud to showcase the amazing talent of BOB MALONE, Live from the PinChurch Tuesday, March 21, 2017. This show will be broadcast live online at: http://live.mystickrewe.com/ There are also a very limited number of public tickets available – see below for details.
BOB MALONE has toured the world as a solo artist for two decades and has played keyboards with rock legend John Fogerty since 2011. Classically trained, with a degree in jazz and a lifetime playing rock & roll clubs, theatres, and arenas, Bob’s sound is a one-of-a-kind hybrid of rock, blues, and New Orleans R&B, delivered with high-energy piano virtuosity and a voice all his own.
Born and raised in New Jersey, he has lived in New York City, New Orleans and Boston, and is currently based in Los Angeles. As a solo artist, Bob plays around 100 shows a year in the US, UK, Europe and Australia – including sets at Glastonbury Music Festival (UK), Colne Blues Festival (UK), Long Beach Bayou Fest (US), Falcon Ridge Folk Fest (US), Blue Mountains Music Fest (AU), and Narooma Blues Fest (AU). He has been featured twice at WWOZ Piano Night in New Orleans, and has opened for Boz Scaggs, Subdudes, The Neville Brothers, Rev. Al Green, BoDeans, Dr. John, Marcia Ball and many others. As a member of John Fogerty’s band, he has played with Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, Jimmy Buffett, and Alan Toussaint.
What Others Are Saying About Bob Malone:
“Pulsating, roaring keyboard work that grabs you and shakes you until you cry for mercy.” — Keyboard Magazine
“With Malone’s latest offering, he has found his mojo delivering a superbly produced blues rock album packed with funk and oozing with soul.” — National Rock Review
“If he could find a way to throw that Steinway grand over his shoulder the way a hot dog guitar player does, I think he would.” — NOLA Defender
“Keyboardist Bob Malone may have been the best musician on the stage outside of Mr. Fogerty himself.” – PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE: John Fogerty brings the bayou to The Meadows
“I first heard him at a WWOZ piano night years ago; his combination of piano skills, witty original songs and lunatic stage energy was totally winning. Mojo Deluxe is a different experience; except for the accordion-and-strings backed “Paris,” this is hard-edged rock ‘n’ roll with New Orleans flourishes (“Chinese Algebra,” the only piano instrumental, is a quirky delight).” – OFFBEAT MAGAZINE: Mojo Deluxe Review
“There’s not a weak cut on this rich and varied outing, which is my pick for best blues album of 2015.” – MYRTLE BEACH SUN NEWS: Best Overlooked Albums of 2015
“He sings in a 2:00 a.m. closing-time bar-room voice ravaged by decades of cigarette smoke and whiskey (that’s a compliment). His scintillating electric Wurlitzer, Hammond B-3, acoustic upright piano, clavinet, accordion and stomp box…creates a truly rock and rolling idiosyncratic blues of personal proportions. In other words, his mojo is, indeed, deluxe.” – CLASSICALITE
“John Fogerty’s keyboard man shows what happens when a classically trained cat cuts loose and runs away to join the circus. Underpinned throughout by the kind of flawless chops he was raised on, this gruff voiced blues rocker has that special knack for hiding unabashed commercial chops in organic clothing.” – MIDWEST RECORD

The Mystic Krewe will be hosting a CPR certification class, Tuesday, January 17 in Metairie at 7pm. If you are interested in attending and obtaining your formal CPR certification, use the form below to register.
Why Everyone Should Learn CPR
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and is an emergency procedure combining rescue breathing and chest compressions in an effort to reverse cardiac arrest. CPR is a method to reactivate the heart in pumping blood through the body. While cardiopulmonary resuscitation is not likely to restart the heart, its purpose is to generate oxygenated blood to vital organs, most importantly the brain.
If cardiopulmonary resuscitation is successful, it provides temporary relief to vital organs and body parts, thereby decreasing the likelihood of brain damage or death.
Effectiveness
In general, CPR is only effective on a victim of cardiac arrest if commenced within 6-7 minutes after cessation of blood flow through the body. It is important for members of the community to become certified in order to perform the chest compression and mouth-to-mouth techniques in case of an emergency. While cardiopulmonary resuscitation is not always effective, it buys time before the paramedics arrive to perform electric shock defibrillation on the heart. Nearly every community offers classes or certification programs through administrative departments, such as police or fire departments.
Why It Matters to You
Learning CPR can save lives. People die every day from cardiac arrest, due to drowning, smoke inhalation, and many other causes because family members, friends, and bystanders don’t know how to respond effectively in order to reactive blood flow to prevent brain damage or death. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is easy to learn, and classes are available all over the United States to instruct people how to deal with cardiac arrest and/or ceased breathing. Simple maneuvers, such as chest compressions of about 100 per minute and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (where the emergency assistant simply breathes small amounts of air into the victim’s mouth), can aid in saving in many lives.
Register for this class below
Using Paypal you can pre-register for this class. The price is $45 per person which includes the certification documents. Upon registering, you will receive an e-mail with details and instructions on the location of the venue (in Metairie). For any questions, e-mail events@mystickrewe.com

The Mystic Krewe is very excited to present our 8th, “Live from the PinChurch” show featuring the amazing talent of “Alexis & the Samurai” – These two local artists have been featured everywhere around the world, and will be performing in our very special, very intimate studio for a live cybercast and show. You do NOT want to miss this one if you have a chance to get one of the very limited tickets available.
The Artists:
Exiled after having lost everything in hurricane Katrina, Alexis Marceaux has spent the last decade returning home and building up a career from scratch. The meantime has been hard-fought but fruitful, with appearances at The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Voodoo Music Experience, SXSW, and several tours of the US and Europe. Alexis and bandmate Sam Craft met in 2009 and initially teamed up for Alexis’ sophomore effort Orange Moon (2011). Under the tutelage and engineering of The Polyphonic Spree’s Rick Nelson, the duo drew an all-star cast, 25 of NOLA’s finest musicians of every genre for a big, lush, indie-pop opus with a distinct Louisiana flavor.
Marceaux put out her solo release Dandelion in ’09, and its songs were picked up by various television shows (MTV’s The Real World, E!’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and others), but with Orange Moon, she’s elevated herself into a “songwriting force to be reckoned with” (No Depression), securing more media placements, as well as rotation in Starbucks cafes and other stores.
The duo will be on the road in the next several months in support of their brand new LP Move Into View.
This event will be broadcast one-time-only live, and there will be a small number of tickets available locally. See below for details on tickets.

Here are the performers:
Kaitlin Marone is a New Orleans-based comedian, writer, and feminist conspiracy theorist. Her primary goal in doing stand up is to inspire audience members to pull her aside after and tell her about the cults they were raised in. She teaches improv comedy at The New Movement theater and can be seen performing stand up all around the Gulf South. She produces Go Ahead, a weekly stand up showcase. She has performed in Fun Fun Fun Fest, Hell Yes Fest, and Moontower Comedy festival and has recently opened for Sasheer Zamata and Emily Heller.
Duncan Pace is a stand up comedian, writer, director, and host of the weekly NOLA Comedy Hour stand up open mic. He was chosen to host Cracking Up NOLA for the Mental Health Channel, was featured on the Viceland channel’s Flophouse, and was head-writer and director of The Goodnight Show, a New Orleans late night talk show, for 3 seasons. He performed on Hell Yes Fest 2014/15 and the Memphis Comedy Festival 2015. As a mainstay on the best shows in New Orleans, he has opened for Aparna Nancherla, Sean Patton, Louis Katz, Kyle Kinane, Dave Ross, and Myq Kaplan, and can be seen periodically around the country often as part of the Almost Homeless Comedy Tour. He graduated from Boston University Film School, writes and performs sketches for Massive Fraud, and is currently developing the upcoming live variety show Great Show Tonight.
Cyrus Cooper is an improviser and stand up comedian. As an improviser, he is a member of the group Dean’s List, whose resume includes performing an original improvised half hour piece under the name “Miami Improv Machine” at Fun Fun Fun Fest and who now hosts a weekly variety hour every Wednesday.

He cohosts the weekly stand up showcase Comedy Beast every Tuesday at the Howlin Wolf Den.
Lauren Bencaz – If there’s two things Lauren Bencaz knows, it’s that she has the e energy level of a tired baby, and if you talk enough about cats on stage, people are going to start offering you cats after comedy shows. Lauren’s harnessed her awkwardness into jokes about but her interactions with the world around her. Lauren has performed in the Scruffy City Comedy Festival, Columbus Comedy Festival, Ohayocon, and has opened for Dana Goldberg.
Addy Najera is a stand-up comedian based in New Orleans. Over the years she’s been compared most often to Lucille Ball, presumably for her comedic style and not her inability to complete work-related tasks. Addy is a three-year performer and producer of the New Orleans-based comedy festival, Hell Yes Fest. Once a month she hosts a gross-out comedy showcase called LIQUID ASS and co-produces (with the very charming Cyrus Cooper) the web series, House Call, in which comics are filmed doing stand-up in their homes. One day she may say something profound, but you’ll have to wade through a bunch of poop jokes first.

LPR is a group of musicians searching for new and unique ways to expand the boundaries of Rock music. The band formed approximately eight years ago, and after a nearly two-year hiatus, the now four-piece is excited to get back on stage, with an entirely new set of material, more intricate and more expressive than ever before.
LPR has two full-length LP’s, “Flower Power Evolution” (2011) and “Lucid Being” (2013), and one EP, “Sounds of Rainforest Monkeys” (2012). The new album is sure to put LPR at the forefront of the indie rock industry’s emerging artists. The band was always incorporating funk and blues into their psychedelically infused rock, but now progressive rock and acapella elements have given the band a quality reminiscent of the bands Yes, King Crimson, and Pink Floyd.
The members of this group are all professional musicians in their own right, with an unparalleled understanding of music in general as well as each other’s idiosyncratic tastes and styles. LPR hopes to inspire a unique audience, bringing their intriguing blend of various genres to the eager ears of those craving new music.

The Mystic Krewe is proud to present a special evening with a special musical/technology act.
The New Orleans Steamcog Orchestra combines the sound of traditional New Orleans music from the 1910’s, with steampunk good looks and cutting edge technology. Led by ‘thousandaire’ philanthropist and n’er-do-well Prof. Pinkerton and his granddaughter Formelda Hyde-Pinkerton on vocals, the group sports a full horn section as well as xylophone, upright bass, and a variety of other intriguing instruments.
A full exhibition of the technology behind the group’s mechanical clockwork drummer will follow the music, which will include lots of crowd pleasing foxtrots, waltzes, and if you’re lucky, some jump blues and latin dance rhythms. Bring your dancing shoes!
The New Orleans Steamcog Orchestra is a Dixieland/Ragtime band with a difference! Male & female singers mix with trumpet, trombone, clarinet, xylophone, upright bass, piano & banjo. With the steady beat provided by ‘COGSWORTHY’ our amazing clockwork drummer, we provide an instant ‘turn of the century’ party for any occasion. The Steamcog Orchestra combines authentic and danceable brass sounds with a hip, humorous, appealing retro visual style that evoke old-world New Orleans.

Singer songwriter duo from the New York and Texas, Greg Klyma and Bill Passalaqua will be performing Live @ the PinChurch on Saturday, October 10, 2015.
Here’s what you all missed:
Bill Poss entertains with great songs and great stories, often in the same breath. Over the past 2 decades, he has cut a wide path, shifting easily from folk & bluegrass to country & rock. His years on the road – first solo, then with the Ginn Sisters and Fred Eaglesmith Traveling Steam Show – have provided him with great fodder for his songs and his stories. Poss is touring in support of his latest recording, Saltwater, and his first book, Bill Poss Travelogue.
Greg Klyma is a prolific songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and seasoned performer, bringing to every stage a catalog of material that assumes his audiences are both smart and able to laugh. His birth date puts him squarely in the middle of Generation X, but Greg is an old-school troubadour. His enduring themes, articulate and amusing stories, and populist ideals make him one of those rare artists who is carrying the torch of Woody and Ramblin’ Jack. He rolls in off the road, pulls out a guitar, and proceeds to take us back to the basics: family, love, gratitude, and laughter. It’s the timeless art of the true troubadour, keeping alive the American folk tradition.
Poss and Klyma became fast friends after meeting at the Kerrville Folk Festival early in the new millennium. Now a couple hundred thousand miles down the road, this tour is something of a reunion for these old touring buddies. Their show will include solo sets by both performers as well as collaborations reflecting the spark of the Texas campfire that set their friendship in motion all those years ago.
Don’t miss it. A limited number of public tickets will go on sale a few weeks before the event. Contact us if you’re definitely interested in attending. As with all our Live @ the PinChurch events, this will be a very special, very intimate gathering of super cool and interesting people among one of the world’s most-unique spaces and out-of-this-world sound quality. We’ll also be doing a multi-camera shoot and a live Internet broadcast.
This is a very special, private venue, with many wonders and surprises. Only a limited number of tickets will be available. This will also be professionally filmed and recorded; no young children please.
Access to this special event is via RSVP/pre-order only. Tickets can be purchased below. There is a very limited quantity. People who pre-register will receive an e-mail with details and directions to the venue. This not a public space and no walk-ins will be permitted. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!

We are proud to announce the second event in our “Live at the PinChurch” series, featuring all the way from Los Angeles, CA, the amazingly-talented, Internet sensation, humorist, satirist and all-around killer-musician, Eric Schwartz!
If you’ve been on the Internet, you’ve probably seen some of Eric’s socially-conscious and occasionally irreverent music videos. He’s an outspoken critic of various social policies including fundamentalist religion and the wingnutty politics. He also has a wide variety of hilarious songs covering everything from relationships to snack food spreads. He can unify even the most diverse audience with his amazing singing and songwriting that often celebrates the lunacy of the human condition that we all can relate to.
And when your stomach hurts from laughter, Eric can uplift you with a beautiful and heartfelt ballad that makes you ask, “Where the hell did this guy come from and why isn’t he on American Idol?” We’ll ask him that and see what he has to say!
TWO SHOWS
Because Eric has so much material spanning so many different genres, we decided to put together two separate shows, one on Friday Sept 26th showcasing his more political/social material, and one the next night, Saturday Sept 27th showcasing Eric’s more musical and jolly comedy material.
The events will be professionally recorded for our Live @ the PinChurch series, as well as streamed online. There is a VERY LIMITED number of tickets available for these private shows. If you are interested, contact one of the members of the Mystic Krewe or use this form.
Only a few spots are available! And only if you pre-order so we can help cover Eric’s expenses getting here. There is a paypal link to order tickets if you contact us (mike@mystickrewe.com). Those who order will be notified via e-mail with the location of the venue and details and will be “on the list”. No public walk-ups are available – this is a private show.
A SAMPLING OF ERIC’S MATERIAL
Musicianship – In addition to an amazing voice, Eric plays multiple instruments with a virtuosity rarely seen:
Humor – Eric has a special ability to turn amusing anecdotes into hilarious songs. Here are some examples:
Political and Social commentary – Eric calls attention to the often bizarre antics of various social and political groups in his own unique style.
Eric’s parody of the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s recent decision allowing corporations to spend money as “free speech” led to the song, “Senator Whoever.”
Improvisation – This is where Eric will blow people away. When he combines his beautiful voice, musical ability and comedic timing with his improvisational skills, you’re in for a treat. He plans to get the audience and internet chat room to help him write a song in real-time he will perform at the show. Here’s an example of Eric doing a sponataneous protest at a recent convention that was picked by fundamentalists. Here he pleads with them to show him some evidence that their deity is real which has everyone but the protesters howling with laughter:
Viral Internet Videos – On more than one occasion Eric’s material as “gone viral” on the Internet, often in response to various social issues, like his famous song, “Keep Your Jesus Off My Penis.”
