The Legendary Vudu Krewe is a showcase of quirky R&B and funk, much from New Orleans. Made up of some of Boston’s most prominent session players such as Paul Ahlstrand, Grammy-award winner Ducky Carlisle, and the infamous Chandler Travis, their annual Mardi Gras and Bastille Day parties have been a local mainstay for 20+ years and have featured special guests from all over the Boston music, like Tanya Donelly, Barrence Whitfield, Jesse Dee, and Casey Desmond.
