Galactic is proud to announce a special pair of shows to mark its tenth anniversary. The band will play at the famed Tipitina’s in New Orleans on Friday, September 9 and Saturday, September 10 with a host of special guests. A longtime staple of the vibrant New Orleans music scene, Galactic is thrilled to return to its de facto home base venue to celebrate a decade of good times and great music. “We’ve all grown up together and learned so much,” says bassist Robert Mercurio. “We’re not only best friends, we’re like family.”
As part of the two special anniversary performances, several members of Galactic’s extended New Orleans “family” will join them on stage. Former band member Theryl “Houseman” deClouet will sing with the band, along with frequent collaborator Tricia “Sista Teedy” Boutte, adding soulful vocals to Galactic’s instrumental power. New Orleans piano-funk wizard Jon Cleary will sit in, and Big Chief Bo Dollis will bring a team of Mardi Gras Indians for a traditional street beat jam. Other guests slated to appear include Cyril Neville, George Porter Jr. (of the original Meters), saxman Tim Green, drummer Johnny Vidacovich (of Astral Project,), piano virtuoso Henry Butler, Theresa Andersson, and members of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. DJ Quicky Mart will open both shows to warm up the crowd for the dance party of a decade.
